About Me
Hi! I’m 8 years old and I have Autism (ASD) and a Learning Disability (LD). I’m also on the pathway for ADHD. I don’t use words to talk, but I show you what I need through my actions. I’m strong, busy, full of energy, and I love being outside!
I need someone to help me explore the world safely. I don’t always understand danger, so I need an adult who can keep me safe when we’re out and about.
What I Love
I’m happiest when I’m outside. walking in the woods, climbing, going to the beach, or playing in the park. I really love sand, stones, sticks, and pencils. They help me feel calm and connected to the world around me. I like to hold them, collect them, and explore with them.
What I Need From You
I’m looking for a Personal Assistant who can:
- Take me out into the community and help me explore safely.
- Understand my sensory needs and help me enjoy the things I love
- Be patient when I get fixated on something — it’s part of how I experience the world
- Help me have fun while keeping me safe
You’ll Be Great for Me If You Are:
- Physically fit and able to run - I’m fast and love to move!
- Vigilant and aware of your surroundings - I need someone who’s always looking out for me
- Experienced with children like me - especially those with Autism and Learning Disabilities
- Creative and playful
- Kind and patient - I need someone who understands me, even when I don’t use words
My Support Package
- Term Time: 4 hours per week for 39 weeks (hoping for weekend support for 4 hours)
- School Holidays: 10 hours per week for 13 weeks (Flexible days and times)
These hours help me get out and do the things I love all year round. My family are flexible regarding hours. Let’s explore the world together - safely, joyfully, and with lots of sticks and sand!
Concerning the position
A trial period will be necessary in the first instance in the form of a six-month probationary period. Salary will be paid monthly (Annual leave is calculated on a pro rata basis). A DBS MUST be processed prior to any commencement of employment. Costs of DBS will be met by Swansea council where applicant is eligible.
