Job description

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am an 11-year-old girl living in the Pontypridd area, I live with my Nan and my older brother, and I sadly lost my father a year ago.

I have a diagnosis of global development delay, suggested brain damage, social communication behavioural type problems.

I love to watch my tablet you tube and Jillian and Addie are my favourites.

I can be very affectionate but also can dominate situations to get my own way, so clear and firm boundaries need to be put into practise.

I am very active and need to be doing all the time, I will sometimes need assistance as I am not fully toilet trained and will need encouragement to enter the community independently.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

Out in the local community to give my Nan some much needed respite.

HOURS OF WORK

6 hours school holidays only

TASKS CAN INCLUDE

• Going to the park.
• Taking me swimming.
• Going out for day trips.
• Any messy play and activities.
• Going out for food.
