Support worker

I am looking for a PA to support me to enjoy all of the opportunities that life has to offer and has experience with Autisum which is implortant to myself and my family.

My main interests are collecting and building Lego, Marvel and DC characters and movies, and video games but I also enjoy going to the gym and bowling.

I have cats and live at home with my family. I’m looking for someone that can help me to develop my skills and maximise my independence and this person should be understanding of the challenges that being autistic can bring.

Looking for someone who can support me while I attend my gym class and then bowling in the evening and a couple of hours on a Saturday times to be arranged.
