A Personal Assistant is needed to support a 12-year-old boy with autism and a hearing impediment who has a cochlear implant.

Location: Armley area, Leeds 12

Hours: 6 hours per week during term time and 8 hours during school holidays; weekends to be discussed with the employer.

Rate: £12.40 per hour

A PA who uses British Sign Language (BSL) would be advantageous; however, the PA can also use symbols and would be supported by the employer.

A car driver with a full UK driving licence and their own vehicle is preferred but not essential.

The successful PA will support the boy with accessing the community, including parks, swimming, and buses. Occasionally, the PA will support him in his home as he enjoys playing with Lego, bubbles, marbles, spinner toys, and toy cars.

The PA must ensure he is fully supported 1:1 at all times, including road safety, and may be required to assist with personal care when needed.
