Summary

Please note this is not a Swansea city council job. You will be
working with a private client who received direct payments.

A little about myself:
I am a young boy who is non-verbal, with ASD and other special needs. I am seeking two personal assistants to work with me on a 2:1 basis to support me in the community, and help me experience and learn the world.
I am self-directed, and a car will be required to get me from A to B. I enjoy being out in nature, visiting a trampoline park and indoor play areas, and going to fun places like fun-fairs and Folly Farm.
I am very active and always on the move. I love to jump and run around and be silly at times. I can get frustrated and upset with loud noises or not being able to do
something I’d like to do.
I have Pica so extra vigilance is needed when out and about, as I can be quite cheeky trying to chew/eat things I shouldn’t.

Driver required to take me out.

Male / female preferred.

Hours of work
4 hours per week. 2 PAs required to work together at the same time.

Rate of pay
£12.50 (plus Mileage)

• Have experience working with children with ASD;
• Drive me to my chosen activity;
• Support me to actively participate in social activities;
• Be friendly and have an easy-going manner;
• Pick me up and drop me off at Respite Centre.

Desirable:

I’d like support with:

I will need my PA to:
Respect and understand the importance of privacy and confidentiality;
Be confident, mature and have patience;
Be dependable and arrive on time;
Be friendly with an easy-going manner;
