Support Worker
I am a 12-year-old non-verbal autistic boy looking for a personal assistant to take me out and about.
I am very happy most of the time and wear my emotions plainly to see.
I am very physically active and love walking.
I love to explore, but don’t have a concept of danger, so I need a person who can be the sense of danger for me. This would look like holding my hand and steering me away from things like bodies of water and oncoming traffic.
I really enjoy getting out and about. I’m happiest in nature, green spaces, forests, fields, parks. I also enjoy going to get food, and going to places where I can jump like trampoline parks.
I enjoy shopping in supermarkets, picking out food and scanning shopping.
I like my iPad and looking at pictures and videos.
It would be an advantage if the PA drives and has access to a car with correct insurances to take me to places a little further afield.
It would also be a advantage if the PA is physically active so they can better be able to keep up with me.
Summary of Duties:
Support the individual who is to be supported to access activities they enjoy.
To keep the individual safe when you are with them.
To be able to support in a personal centred way.
To support and maintain independence within the home as well as out in the community.
