JOB DESCRIPTION

Part-Time Personal Assistant

 A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 14 year old lad living in Beddau. I have high functioning autism but I am like any other teenager and don’t want to be treated differently. I have no behavioural issues and when I’m out I am an angel – the perfect child as my mum says. Of course, with my mum I’m quite different, but what teenager isn’t?!

My interests are music, especially bands and going to local music shops like A Strings in Pontypridd. I play online games and pool for a local league. My biggest interest at the moment is going to the gym and getting fit. Being a youngster I am very conscious about how I look and I want to tone up and look good.

The purpose of the job is to enable me to enjoy time out away from my family to gain some independence.
