Supporting the individual to go swimming with another PA — you must be comfortable in the water and able to provide support in the pool. Swimming sessions are most likely to take place on weekdays.

* Supporting attendance at S.E.N. discos in Harrogate.
* Working as part of a small, friendly team to enable the individual to enjoy their interests and participate safely and fully in their chosen activities.
Essential qualities:
Kind, patient, and calm under pressure.
* Physically fit and able to provide support in the water.
* Willing to learn about the individual’s communication style and sensory needs.
* Comfortable working alongside another PA or carer.
Desirable (but not essential):
Experience supporting someone with learning disabilities, autism, or complex health needs.
