£12.70 per hour (gross) at all times with 5.6 weeks pro rata holidays
We are advertising this personal assistant role for our son who has a diagnosis of Autism. This role is for 4 hours per week plus 2 hours in school holidays. Hours can be arranged in advance with parents to provide greater flexibility. Initially the PA will build a relationship in the home and then start to access the community with him. He likes trips to the park and trampolining.
How he communicates He uses some words and short sentences to communicate his wants and needs. He is good at using visuals like his choice board and aided language displays – make sure he gains an adult’s attention prior to initiating communication. He is gestalt processing so sometimes his phrases don’t match what he means; he learns through modeling. He will need supervision all the time, as we do not have any awareness of danger.
Things he likes:
* Playgrounds
* Intensive interaction
* Trampoline
* Swimming
Things he does not like:
* Loud noises
* Other children upset
* People in his personal space
* Physical touch from unfamiliar adults
I need reminding to look before crossing the road and I have no sense of danger.
