Description

Ibk is a community based, not-for-profit social enterprise with over 20 years' experience of providing Direct Payment Support to families, children and adults of all ages with a range of needs. We provide a bespoke matching service, finding the right PA for the right person
IBK are supporting a gentleman in his 20's to find a PA. The gentleman is an intelligent and focused person who enjoys theme parks and animation. He has a diagnosis of autism and can sometimes struggle with anxiety.

The focus of the support is to help him build his independent living skills in the family home, as well as going out and about in the community.

The pandemic has been hard on him so he needs a patient and understanding PA who can help to re build his confidence and make the most of his time.

Before the pandemic this young man had a full and enjoyable life and he wants to build back to regaining this.

He volunteered at a library, attended a course, travelled independently and was part of contributing to his community in lots of ways.

Could you play a major part in helping this young man to reclaim his life?

The family live in the S6/Walkley area of Sheffield.
