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 four-year-old little boy with Autism and Pica behaviours. I like to jump, bounce, climb, swim and run around. I really love the water, so swimming is one of my favourites. I love Buzz trampoline park, soft play and gymnastics.
I need a kind, patient, and fast-on-their-feet Personal Assistant (PA) to take me out to have fun where I can be safe. I also love to go on drives where I can look out at the people and places, and daydream. I particularly like the beach and the sea.
I have no awareness of danger, so you will need to always hold my hand unless we are in a safe, secure area.
