Support Worker / PA advert
About me:
I am a 15 year old boy looking for a support worker to take me out and about.
I am easy going and a happy to go along with the flow but it would be important that my support worker sets clear rules & boundaries for me, so that I understand what is expected of me.
I really enjoy getting out and about. I’m happy to go anywhere, but especially enjoy travelling on public transport, trains, buses & the park and ride.
I enjoy walks in local parks and the countryside or around the shops.
I like to sit quietly and watch the world go by on a local bench or visit a lively local café with my PA.
I have to eat low fat diet (so no McDonalds even if I ask) and if we were on a day out my mum would make a packed lunch for me.
I like to go swimming and I`m able to get myself dressed independently without any support.
It would be an advantage if the PA drives and has access a car with correct insurances to take me to places a little further afield.
