Overview
A PA is needed to support a young boy who is an active person. The PA would need to be reasonably fit and active. He enjoys the outdoors, going to the park to explore surroundings and build dens. He likes to go to the cinema, big fun, bowling and football, then to go for something to eat. When at home the boy likes to go on his tablet to play games and watch YouTube. One of his favourite pastimes is music when he can do a bit of rapping, have fun and just be a kid.
This role would preferably suit a male PA who would have access to a vehicle; mileage would be met by the employer.
It would be an advantage if you have experience of working with children with Autism, ADHD and challenging behaviour.
