Car Driver Essential




My son is a happy lively 13-year-old boy who loves being outside and active in all weathers. He really enjoys going to the beach and parks, fairgrounds, theme parks, soft play, swimming, trampoline parks and doing anything that lets him get wet and messy.

The ideal candidate would be someone who likes to be active and enjoys being out and about and is conscientious with a good sense of humour.

The purpose of this job is to support my son who has been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. He is non=verbal and communicates by pointing or holding your hand. He still wears nappies so there will be personal care involved.

The role involves supporting my son so that he can take part in the activities in the community that he enjoys independently of myself. Knowledge or experience with Autistic Spectrum Disorder would be advantageous.

Ideally, mum would like a PA who is enthusiastic with a genuine interest and enjoyment in working with children and has some experience of working with disabled children.

A car driver in this role is essential and mileage will be reimbursed.
