Description
I am a 16-year-old boy living in Port Talbot. I have a learning disability, Autism, ADHD and dyspraxia but I’m also just a regular kid! I have a happy outlook on life and I am great company. I have a lovely sense of humour and I like to make people laugh. I love talking about things I’m interested in – mainly football, FIFA 23 and Manchester United. I like going to parks and riding in any kind of transport. I like watching YouTube and playing on my PS5 but I need to get out more! I play football for 2 teams. I’m looking for a young at heart and outdoorsy PA, to help me explore new interests and develop some of my independent living skills in the community. The PA might need to support me to attend my football training. I would love it if a PA could have a kick about in the park with me too. Flexible with the hours, which can be during the week after college and on the weekend.
