Job description

Overview

Please note this is not a Swansea city council job. You will be working with a private client who received direct payments.

A little about the family and the role: I’m a young boy who lives in the Sketty area with my family. I have a diagnosis of ASD. I’m learning new words and beginning to follow instructions, and I need lots of support and positive interaction to help me build language and communication skills. Mum and Dad say it’s important that my PA has experience of ASD and understands my needs. I say it’s important that my PA is lovely, kind, and a happy calm person. I’m very active and can be quick on my feet, so I need someone who’s good at playing tag, can keep up, and can keep me safe in the community during adventures in nature, at parks, or the beach. I love being pulled on my scooter and, especially, I LOVE swings. I’d love to get to know you and for you to get to know me.

My twin brother is also looking for a PA and we are happy to go out together.

Driver required to take me out. Female preferred.
