We are looking for an enthusiastic and reliable Personal Assistant to support John, a 13-year-old with a learning disability, to enjoy full and active access to his local community.

What You’ll Be Doing
Support will focus on community access and shared activities, including:
- Going out to local shops
- Purchasing toys and DVDs
- Going for walks
- Visiting local attractions and places of interest
- Encouraging independence, confidence, and enjoyment while out and about
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
No two days are the same – this role suits someone energetic who enjoys being busy and engaged throughout the day.
Benefits
As an employed personal assistant, you will be eligible for free membership to the Independent Living Group. Benefits include:
- Eligibility to sign up for the Blue Light Card for only £4.99 which gives you access to a large range of discounts across retail, leisure, and other services at companies nationwide
- Counselling helpline, legal helpline and personal financial support
- Shopping discounts platform
- My Mind Pal mental health app subscription

About You
- Friendly, patient, and dependable
- Comfortable supporting a young person in the community
- Confident managing outings and transitions
- Driver preferred (ability to transport John to activities is highly beneficial)
- Experience supporting children or young people with learning disabilities is desirable, but not essential
An enhanced DBS check will be required, and suitable safeguarding awareness is essential due to John’s age.
