Please read the Job Description carefully before providing information in this Section of the Application Form. Give details of your previous employment or experience which you think would help you to do this job. (required): I have previously worked as a Teaching Assistant for ALN/SEN schools and have experience with children ages 6 months to 16 years old. Here I was responsible for planning activities indoors and outdoors, joining in with singing and dancing, supervising at meal times, toileting and aid with personal hygiene. I have personal experience caring for my autistic younger brother also.

What qualities do you think are important when working as a personal assistant with a disabled person? (required): Empathy and respect are very important when you are assisting a disabled person. You must always be patient and understanding of their needs and aim to make them feel comfortable and relaxed around you. I also believe observational skills are vital in anticipating needs and for making adjustments to avoid discomfort. For example bringing sunglasses on a sunny day to avoid sensory distress.

How do you think you can contribute towards the needs and the independence of a disabled person? (required): I am an empathetic person who can understand the needs of a disabled person and provide suitable support levels whilst allowing for independence or even learning if safe to do so. I will always promote self-advocacy and encourage the person to make decisions on our daily plans. I am there to support the person in their daily routines without taking over their independence.

What is it about PA work which appeals to you? (required): I love the idea of becoming a personal assistant, as rather than visiting multiple people in one day for short periods of time, you are able to really bond and connect with a singular person. The role of making somebody’s daily life more comfortable and more fun would be a privilege.

What are your hobbies/interests? (required): I am a very creative and free-spirited person. My hobbies include crochet, painting, drawing, video games, reading, music, camping, walking and cooking! I love to collect plushies and miniatures.
