Support needed for accessing the community and daily tasks for artistic 21 year old in SY2

A PA is needed for a 21 year old autistic trans male. Currently in supportive living but needs support with daily tasks, accessing the community and tasks such as shopping etc.

The young person is an artist and is hoping to access an art class in town. He also likes to go to the gym, and walks regularly to town. He would benefit from a younger person who has an understanding of autism, PDA and mental health issues. Being transgender he will need someone accepting of this. He can be chatty, but on his terms. He's witty and very kind. He needs help shopping, cooking and generally prompting self care.

Person with a car preferred, but not essential.
