We are looking for 1 or 2 PAs to support a young autistic woman with cerebral palsy to lead her life. She wishes to become more independent and now she is in her 20s wants to enjoy new experiences, meet like-minded people and make friends.
The young woman is engaging and outgoing, she uses a wheelchair to mobilise and is looking to build up her independence within the house, develop independent travel skills and gain confidence to access activities/college courses/volunteering.
Experience of working in social care is preferable and an understanding of cerebral palsy and/or autism is desirable. Access to a car and/or a driving licence is also preferable as it opens up more possibilities to go places and do activities.

The successful candidates would work 15-20 hours each a week. However, this could be more or fewer hours, depending on availability and suitability of the individuals. Applications from people looking for 15 hours per week or less welcome.
The post will be offered subject to successful interview and references. The young woman also likes to make sure there is a good connection with the people who support her and so part of the application process is completing a paid trial shift.
