About the role
Are you looking for an active, fun role? I am looking for a calm, creative and happy personal assistant for my 11 year old son with Autism. He loves baking, walks, sensory play/activities, swimming (anything to do with water really!). He flaps his hands and jumps up and down when he is happy. He is generally very chilled out but there are moments when he is a bundle of energy and needs to be busy and focused. He loves one to one support. As a PA, you will accompany him on outdoor activities such as swimming, picnics, going to the park, ensuring his safety and helping him feel secure to participate in activities and experiences. If you have a genuine love of working with children, please apply!
