Personal Assistant - Relief Personal Assistant

Personal assistant is required for a 10 year old boy living in Pontrennau who has been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD.

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

He is social, chatty about subjects he is passionate about and has a cheeky sense of humour. His favourite hobbies are gaming and football and he would love someone with similar interests to talk about this and to take him out to kick a football around and even introduce him to new sports.

6 hours per week currently in school holidays only. Can be flexible with times but would prefer mid week day times.

RATE OF PAY

£14.10 per hour.

TASKS INVOLVED

• Support out to activities he enjoys.
• Ensure his safety at all times. He needs support when in busy places as his ability to get distracted/excited about things can lead to no sense of danger. He can also become upset when he feels things are unfair, at which point he needs someone to explain the situation simply and clearly.
• He has some difficulty with personal hygiene and will need to be told to wash hands, discreetly encouraged to go to the toilet etc.

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

• Reliable & punctual.
• Patient.
• Someone with similar interests (football/gaming) is desirable.
• Car driver is essential.
