A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 16-year-old girl living in the Abercynon area with my family and golden labrador. I am quite a character when I am happy and can be quite loud. I enjoy watching my IPad and making lists of TV shows and characters. I am very food oriented and incentive driven.
I have a diagnosis of ASD and while I am non-verbal, I can talk and communicate basic needs but cannot have conversations. I can get frustrated at my lack of communication and this can cause behavioural issues at times. I also experience infrequent panic attacks.
PURPOSE OF JOB
I am looking for a PA to support me to access the community and to gain independence away from family and friends.
This would also provide my parents with some respite.
HOURS OF WORK
6 hours per week available. Ideally worked in two, three-hour shifts to begin with.
These would ideally be worked on a Saturday and one day after school. But there is flexibility with the hours.
RATES OF PAY
£16.30 per hour and 40p per mile where applicable.
TASKS INVOLVED
Taking me out into the community.
Ensure my safety while out in the community.
Helping me to build independence.
Building a relationship with me.
Supporting me and working a shift at home if the weather is not great.
Supporting me to go to the toilet if required when out.
TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED
A car driver with business class insurance.
A non-smoker.
Someone with a lot of patience.
A person willing to encourage me as I can be quite stubborn.
A kind and friendly person.
A reliable and punctual person.
Someone happy to work in a home with a dog.
A level-headed and resilient person.
ABOUT THE JOB
Though a part-time job, this will be a proper job requiring a National Insurance number to be submitted. A trial period will be necessary in the first instance. The wage will be paid monthly and appropriate holiday pay given.
The post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS (Police) Check - which will need to be carried out before employment can commence. The cost of this will be met by the employer (Local Authority).
The relevant checks will be carried ou
