Job Purpose: I am looking to employ a PA to support my 11-year-old son, who has a diagnosis of ASD, is pre-verbal and has significant learning difficulties. Due to his diagnosis, he is experiencing continence issues and is in nappies full time, therefore, this position would also include some personal care.

My son has tendencies for running towards things that grab his attention without warning so you would need to keep always hold of him. He is heavily reliant on supervision and support from adults and can have meltdowns which you would need to be able to address appropriately.

He enjoys bus rides and trips to the shopping centre and swimming or visiting a soft play area. We would like him to be able to get out into the community to develop his independence.

Location: Great Yarmouth, NR30

Details: Support and supervision when out and about. Some personal care.
