We are looking for a personal assistant for a 17-year-old young man who has ASD. He is an only child, living at home with his parents.
Support required would include taking him to activities such as drives, visiting the beach, swimming occasionally, and watching online videos.
The PA should have awareness of his safety, as he has no sense of danger and experiences anxiety due to complex sensory needs, which can manifest as biting his own hands. He requires close supervision, as he might eat inedible items.
The responsibilities of the PA include introducing new hobbies, places to visit, and helping him achieve his potential by providing opportunities across various areas.
If you are unable to complete an online application, you can request one by forwarding your name and address, quoting the reference number. An application form will then be sent by post.
Please note, this vacancy is not employed through South Tyneside Council but through the individual service user.
This vacancy will close once a suitable candidate is appointed.
At the time of starting employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
