Summary
Personal Assistant (2:1 Support) – Supporting a Young Boy with Autism
About Me
I’m a lively and adventurous 9-year-old boy with a diagnosis of Autism, global developmental delay, and ADHD. I’m non-verbal, but I express myself in many other ways and love being active and engaged with the world around me.
I enjoy:
• Exploring the outdoors – climbing, running, and discovering new places.
• Watching cartoons on YouTube.
• Listening to music, especially songs with fun actions.
Support Needs
Due to my high energy and no awareness of danger, I require 2:1 support when out in the community. This means I need two Personal Assistants to help keep me safe and ensure I can enjoy my activities to the fullest.
Who We’re Looking For
We’re seeking two compassionate, energetic, and experienced Personal Assistants who can work together to provide consistent and reliable support. You should be:
• Experienced in supporting children with Autism.
• Physically fit and agile – ready to keep up with me!
• Patient, understanding, and calm under pressure.
• Able to bring a sense of fun and humour to our time together.
• Confident in promoting safety and helping me learn about danger awareness.
• A good team player – you’ll be working closely with another PA.
• A car user – access to transport is essential.
*7.5 is the average hours - I may require more support during the school holidays and less during term time.
If you are interested in applying for this post contact direct.payments@newport.gov.uk to request an application form stating reference: NPT/FB
