Job Summary
I am a 16‑year‑old boy living in Port Talbot. I have a learning disability, autism, ADHD and dyspraxia, but I am also just a regular kid. I have a happy outlook and I am great company. I have a lovely sense of humour and I like to make people laugh. I love talking about things I’m interested in – mainly football, FIFA 23 and Manchester United. I like going to parks and riding in any kind of transport. I like watching YouTube and playing on my PS5 but I need to get out more! I play football for two teams. I’m looking for a young‑at‑heart, outdoorsy PA to help me explore new interests and develop my independent living skills in the community. The PA might need to support me to attend my football training and I would love it if a PA could have a kick‑about in the park with me too.
