JOB DESCRIPTION

Personal Assistant

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

 

I am an autistic 8 year old girl living in the Grangetown area of Cardiff. I am non-verbal, therefore, I find it difficult to communicate my needs but I use visuals to communicate. I wear ear defenders because I can’t tolerate loud noises and struggle in busy environments. I love outdoor play such as going to the park, riding a tricycle bike, soft play and swimming. I have no sense of danger so I need a personal assistant to keep me safe. I also need prompting with personal care tasks.
