Very happy disabled girl looking for two personal assistants (PA) to access the community. The girl has multiple complex disabilities, is non-verbal, has epilepsy and uses a wheelchair. The young person needs 2 to 1 support with all aspects of daily life. It is important that the PA take time to get to know the girl and discover how to best communicate effectively with her. She loves going out, milkshakes and nursery rhymes.
It is essential that PA have experience of working with disabled children, can drive and have protection of vulnerable groups (PVG) scheme membership.
