A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 12 year old boy living in the Rhydyfelin area of Pontypridd with my mother and siblings. I am a very friendly and nice boy who has recently grown up a lot. I love spending time in the garden and very much enjoy the TV and time on my phone or iPad; I always have one of these with me.

I have a diagnosis of Autism and I am non-verbal. I also have no sense of danger and do not like being challenged, but I can adapt to new things given time.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

I am looking for a PA to keep me safe while out in the community and to provide me with some independence away from my family.

RATE(S) OF PAY

£14 per hour and 40p per mile where applicable.

• Going to Tenpin to go bowling or play in the arcade.
• Supporting me to go swimming.
• Potentially just going for a walk locally or just a car ride.

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

• Someone who will keep a close eye on me to keep me safe when out socially.
• A person willing to be reasonable firm with me and not let me get away with things.
• A car driver is preferable.
• An outgoing person willing to have fun with me.
