Summary
JOB DESCRIPTION
Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I’m a 11 year old boy living in Llanharry with my family. I have Downs Syndrome. I’m a cheeky, funny and fun-loving child. Sometimes I can show aggression but only to my mum because she is my safe space.
Like any other child I have my stubborn moments and can be challenging. I want the person who works with me to understand this and work with me in an empathetic way.
I don’t like loud noises and don’t have an understanding of safety awareness. Without someone to look after me I could hurt myself or do something silly, so you have to be all eyes and ears when looking after me.
I have an allergy to milk and this will be discussed in more detail at an interview.
PURPOSE OF JOB
To support me out in the community, encourage my independence and living skills. Also to ensure my mum knows I am safe.
HOURS OF WORK
3 hours per week during term-time
9 hours per week for the 6 weeks summer holidays
6 hours per week for all other school holidays, the remaining 7 weeks

£13.00 per hour and 0.40p a mile when I am in the car with you.
TASKS INVOLVED
Taking me to some of my favourites places and activities, such as the park, bowling and cinema

Sometimes I can have a toileting accident so you will need to assist me
You are fully responsible for keeping me safe in the community and being mindful of possible danger around us as I do not understand any of this
TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED
