A little about myself:
I am a young boy and I live with my mummy and daddy. I love going to the park, the beach, to farm parks, theme parks, soft play and swimming. I am funny and lively and a pleasure to spend time with.
I have been diagnosed with ASD and global developmental delay. I am very chatty and articulate, but this can sometimes make people think that my understanding of things is better than it actually is. I have no safety awareness and I need 1:1 supervision at all times. When I am out in the community I will sometimes try and run away, especially if I am upset or dysregulated. My Mummy and Daddy would really like for someone to spend time with us at home getting to know me before we go out anywhere together on our own. I am very busy and sensory seeking, and I am always on the go.
Hours of work:
6 hours per week – school holidays only.
PA: Female/Male
Driver: Yes
Rate of pay: £13.13 per hour
Tasks involved.
• Supporting me to access activities of my choice in the local community and initially in my home.
• I am able to use the toilet without prompting, but I still need some support in this area.
• I need close supervision all of the time, I can run off when in the community and I don’t have any awareness of danger.
• I thrive on routine and I need to know what is happening next. I need to have a clear plan as to what the day will look like.
Type of person required:
• Someone with a caring and responsible attitude.
• My PA will need to be reliable and punctual, as I will struggle if someone doesn’t turn up when I am expecting them to.
• Male or female PA.

• Someone who is experienced in working with children/young people who have ASD.
• I would like a PA who is calm, reliable and upbeat with affirming language.
