Angus is an active young man who is non‑verbal autistic and is looking for PA(s) to support him in his busy life so he can experience as much as possible.
He enjoys both indoor and outdoor activities, including trips to sealife, safari park and zoos and also his hobbies such as the gym, pottery, cinema, swimming, skiing, walks and eating out.
He will need support while doing his activities to stay safe, communicate with others and understand what is expected and needed of him. The role is varied as he needs personal support while in the bathroom and financial support while paying for things and everything in between.
The position is based in the Kirkintilloch area and is for between 9 and 18 hours a week either taking him out or supporting him at home so I can go out. He will have 2 to 1 support as it is not safe to leave him unsupervised while his PA has a toilet break but in the house 1 to 1 would be fine. I'm looking for someone on maybe a Tuesday evening for 5.30pm till 9pm and a Saturday from 9.30am till 3pm. The evening and times are flexible depending on what activity he wants to do and PA's availability.
The role will be rewarding, varied and enjoyable for someone who is friendly, reliable and has a positive outlook on life. Must be able to work on their own or be part of a team and flexible.
