JOB DESCRIPTION
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 8 year old boy with autistic spectrum disorder (ASD) and sensory process disorder (SPD) living with my mum and brother and sister in Abercynon, Rhondda Cynon Taff and I can present some challenging behaviours. I am non-verbal but can say some phrases and use my hands to ask for what I want. Sometimes I like to run away from people who are looking after me, so my safety is important, especially crossing the roads. Changes and sensory overload can overwhelm me, especially meeting new people; it might take me a little longer to trust someone new. When I am distressed I sometimes head-butt the floor have been known to hit out on occasion. Despite the challenges I face, I am a happy and funny character who is learning to self-regulate with the help of my mum.
PURPOSE OF THE JOB
To support me out in the community whilst ensuring my safety.
HOURS OF WORK
I have 4 hours per week to be used to support me within the community.

Making sure I am safe and secure
Sticking to a structure
Personal care
