Role Summary
I am looking for a PA for my 7 year old son. He is autistic and non verbal so it will take someone with a lot of caring and patience. He gets overstimulated and cannot communicate his needs, so the role requires someone calm who can help stimulate him. Times may include school drop off and feeding him dinner (which I will have prepared). Most duties involve getting him ready for bed, bathing, and changing nappies. He enjoys being outside (walks along the seafront) and water play and bouncing, so taking him out will be a significant part of the role.
