Can you spare a few hours a week to support a lady who has just recently been diagnosed with Autism and Functional Neurological Disorder (FND).

Hi, I am a 34 years old lady who lives In Pudsey. I would like a Personal Assistant (P.A.) to cover 8 hours weekly support to assist me with visiting my son, accessing the community and help with daily activities.

I have recently been diagnosed with Autism and have been in contact with Autism Aid who are supporting me. I have also been diagnosed with Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) and I am currently having ongoing discussions with neurologists. FND can cause me to have fits and lose my ability to talk. I have sensory overload and find shopping for food overwhelming. I have bad anxiety and I am currently taking medication for this. I find it stressful and overwhelming when I am given information verbally or on paper and sometimes needs this breaking down to understand what has been said, I also struggle with making phones calls so prefer to use email instead.

I would like someone who has experience of working with Autism and FND.

I have a 10 yrs old son who is currently living with his dad and I would like to spend time with him but I am afraid of having a fit while I am with him so would require you to attend with me. My son has autism and an understanding of this would be beneficial. You must be able to communicate well over the phone, letter or face to face. I struggle when travelling alone by bus or train as my anxiety increases so I would like someone who can drive and has access to a car.

The hours consist of:

· 4 hours support as a parent· 4 hours support to accessing the community and managing daily tasks

Rate of Pay: £12.60 per hour (Gross) at all times Monday to Friday and £15.69 per hour (Gross) for Saturday and Sunday.

Holiday Entitlement: You will be entitled to 5.6 weeks holiday’s pay pro-rata
