Lucas is a lively, inquisitive 6-year-old boy with autism, living with his parents and sibling in Byker. He attends a specialist school in Newcastle. Lucas is seeking a personal assistant to support him in accessing the community and engaging in activities he enjoys. He loves trampolining, soft play, parks, and adventure playgrounds. Supervision is essential as he can be an escape artist and has no awareness of danger. Lucas prefers "cause and effect" toys, especially light-up ones. He requires personal care, is non-verbal, and communicates via gestures and noises.
Applicants should have experience working with children with autism and challenging behaviors, be resilient, and maintain a good level of fitness due to Lucas's strength. Lucas uses a buggy for outings. A driver is preferred but not essential.
