I am an 11-year-old boy looking for a Personal Assistant. I am very sociable and active and love having fun. I enjoy being outside and like all means of transport but particularly like trains.
My hobbies include horse riding, swimming, trampolining and going to the theatre and circus. I am non-verbal but I am working towards my speech and can communicate via Makaton and an automated device. I can display challenging behaviour at times and my care-givers use a positive behaviour support plan as I struggle with transitions and moving from one activity or location to another.
It would be an advantage if the PA has a full driving licence.
Hours are flexible but preferably one weekday afternoon (after school until 7pm) and alternative weekends including some additional hours during the school holidays. Times to suit.
