DPSS626 - Personal Assistant - 7 hours per week - Pontardawe

I am an amazing 9-year-old boy who has Cerebral palsy and other complex health needs, including physical, cognitive and communication. I need lots of support with personal care, but I don't let this hold me back or define who I am. I attend a local school and after school I need additional support to help me to enjoy social and leisure activities and to help with my therapy programmes.

I am described by the people who know me best as 'infectious, bubbly and cheeky.' I am sociable and have a great sense of humour. I love playing with my cars and trains and am looking forward to going to activities such as skiing.

I am looking for an enthusiastic, fun, patient, and reliable personal assistant to help me engage in activities and to provide some respite for my mum, who is my main support.
