Daniel is a delightful 12-year-old boy who lives with his dad in the west end of Newcastle. He enjoys being active, going to the beach, trampolining, swimming, and visiting the park, especially on the swings. He loves traveling on public transport like buses and the Metro. Daniel also enjoys water activities and spending time in his hot tub at home.
He is stimulated by cause-and-effect games, such as throwing stones into water to see the splash. Daniel has epilepsy that occurs in clusters; training will be provided to manage this. He also has vestibular sensory balance issues, making him feel as if he is at sea constantly. He is non-verbal but understands spoken language and communicates through clapping. Daniel has no awareness of danger, requiring constant vigilance and sometimes using his reins for safety.
Ideally, the PA will be enthusiastic, genuinely interested in working with children, and have some experience with disabled children. A driver is preferred but not essential; mileage will be reimbursed.
This post is subject to a satisfactory DBS check and references, which will be taken up if you are offered the position.
