Personal Assistant – Relief Personal Assistant
Personal assistant is required for a 10‑year‑old boy living in Pontrennau who has been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD.
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
He is social, chatty about subjects he is passionate about and has a cheeky sense of humour. His favourite hobbies are gaming and football and he would love someone with similar interests to talk about this and to take him out to kick a football around and even introduce him to new sports.

RATE OF PAY
£14.10 per hour.
TASKS INVOLVED
* Support out to activities he enjoys.
* Ensure his safety at all times. He needs support when in busy places as his ability to get distracted/excited about things can lead to no sense of danger. He can also become upset when he feels things are unfair, at which point he needs someone to explain the situation simply and clearly.
* He has some difficulty with personal hygiene and will need to be told to wash hands, discreetly encouraged to go to the toilet etc.
TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED
* Reliable & punctual.
* Patient.
* Someone with similar interests (football/gaming) is desirable.
* Car driver is essential.

You will receive 5.6 weeks paid holiday (pro‑rata). You will be required to apply for a DBS check at no expense to you. Support cannot be carried out in the personal assistant’s own home.
