We are seeking a personal assistant for a 17-year-old young man with ASD. He is an only child, living at home with his parents.
The support required includes taking him to activities such as outings, visiting the beach, swimming on occasion, and watching online videos.
The PA should have awareness of his safety, as he has no sense of danger and experiences anxiety due to complex sensory needs, which may manifest as self-biting. He requires close supervision to prevent ingestion of inedible items.
The responsibilities include introducing new hobbies, visiting new places, and helping him achieve his potential by providing opportunities for growth in all areas.
If you cannot complete an online application, you can request one by forwarding your name and address, quoting the reference number, and it will be sent to you by post.
Please note, this vacancy is not employed through South Tyneside Council but through the individual service user.
This vacancy will close once a suitable candidate is appointed.
At the time of employment start, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the UK.
