JOB DESCRIPTION

Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a very happy and always smiling 11 year old boy living in the Nantgarw area. I have a diagnosis of Autism and ADHD and I am non–verbal. My mood can change quickly and go from 0-100 if something upsets me.

I love the outdoors and really enjoy long nature walks, going to the beach and visiting the park, though I need help on some of the climbing frames at the park. I also love swimming and would go every day if I could!

I have no awareness of danger when out and could run off so would need someone to hold my hand constantly and keep a very close eye on me to ensure my safety at all times. I do not like crowds of people either so will drag peoples hand to leave when I am uncomfortable. I also do not enjoy queues. I enjoy listening to people singing and playing instruments to me and like sensory inputs to help keep me calm.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

To help me access the community and engage in social activities.

HOURS OF WORK

I have 6 hours (2:1) term time and 12 hours (2:1) during school holidays.

· Holding my hand when out and ensuring I am safe at all times.

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

· A trustworthy person.

· Someone who is calming and won’t get stressed easily.

· Someone who is reliable and punctual.

· Someone who can keep up with me as I am quite strong and fast for my age.
