We’re looking for a Personal Assistant to support a 15-year-old young man. He has a diagnosis of ADHD, Autism, ARND, OOD and a Learning Development Disorder. He presents as an 8-9-year-old due to this. He is also Asthmatic, flat footed and has low muscle tone.
This does not stop him or slow him down, he loves going to the cinema, being out and about, the park, playing football or even just going for a nice walk. While he cannot read or write independently, he will copy with help.
He is allergic to dog hair, cat hair and lanolin. He can stroke cats or dogs, but must wash hands immediately afterwards, he carries emergency medication with him and knows to ask for his pump if an attack starts. His eyes will become red and swollen and will breathe from stomach. Previous attacks have hospitalised him.
He is not allowed to have fizzy drinks, and can be particular about his food, he will keep wet and dry food separately on the plate, unless they belong together like beans on toast. He is slowly getting better in relation to this. There will be no personal care involved. He will travel fine in the car and there is no flight risk. It is hoped that a Personal Assistant will help him get out and enjoy himself.
This vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed.
At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
