Full Job Description
I am a 21-year-old boy living in the Pontygwaith area of RCT with my Cousin. I love going swimming, to Dare Valley Country Park or any other parks really and Pets at Home. Even though they can be quite crowded I can find a quiet area to play in. I also like going to McDonalds and I love a Mayo Chicken. I also like Greggs, Subway and going to the cinema
I tend to spend a lot of time with adults and I would like to interact more with people my own age and improve my social skills. I have a fixation with anything with a 'spinning' action.
I have Autism and this affects many aspects of my life. I can communicate very well but sometimes it can be quite frustrating when I want to say something and I cannot express easily what it is. It is easier to understand when people use simplified terms to explain things. I have very little spatial awareness, no knowledge of road safety of 'stranger danger' so need to be watched constantly. I dislike noisy or crowded places., My cousin is looking to employ a personal assistant to take me out socially. This will enable me to socialise independently and for me to improve my social skills. I am hoping that my PA will become like a buddy to me.
I am keen to try new activities and to eventually build new friendships. It is important that I am motivated and encouraged to participate in different things., Male due to needing assistance to go to use public toilets
A person who is willing to interact, explain things in simplified terms and have patience.
Someone who has access to their own car and is willing to use the car for work purposes. (Business Class Insurance is essential)
A competent swimmer.
Someone who can motivate me and encourage me to try new things.
Someone who will be a friend and not just a PA.
ABOUT THE JOB
Though a part-time job, this will be a proper job requiring a National Insurance number to be submitted. A trial period will be necessary in the first instance. The wage will be paid four weekly and appropriate holiday pay given.
The post is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS (Police) Check - which will need to be carried out before employment can commence. The cost of this will be met by the employer (Local Authority).
