CX449 / Personal assistant / HU6 Area / 10 hrs during term time - 18 hrs during school holidays

A PA is required for a 13-year-old child living in the HU6 area of Hull.
The child enjoys swimming and going to trampoline and play parks/soft play and going on days out e.g. to the seaside/amusements. He needs help with personal care, and you would need to go into the swimming pool with him. The child uses a wheelchair for longer distances as he tires easily due to having reduced muscle tone and hyper flexible joints.

You should be experienced in dealing with children with unpredictable and challenging behaviour and will need to be very flexible i.e. available at short notice. You will be very aware that this young boy has no health and safety awareness, particularly whilst crossing the road and you must ensure his health and safety is always of paramount importance.

Choices and Rights have received support from Hull City Council to produce a video showing three different examples of how disabled people can use direct payments. The video features stories of the different experiences of disabled people and their Personal Assistants (PAs) and was produced and edited by Mal Wlliamson. (https://malwilliamson.com/)
