PM1954 Personal Assistant

I am looking for a PA to ensure my safety, monitor me and to keep me occupied in the house to allow my father to have some respite. In time we could build up to going out into the community to do social activities., This will be a proper job requiring a National Insurance number to be submitted. A trial period of six months will be necessary in the first instance. The wage will be paid four-weekly on return of a payslip provided by the Centre for Independent Living. You will receive appropriate holidays and holiday pay. This post is subject to an enhanced police check (DBS) and training may be required if identified by the employer.

I am a 7 year old boy living in the Pontyclun area with my father. I am a very energetic boy who likes to do what I want. I do enjoy playing all sorts of things but I do get very easily distracted.

I am diagnosed with autism and ADHD and have sensory difficulties, especially with certain sounds. I can communicate verbally but my speech is limited and I normally use non-verbal forms of communication.

I can generally only keep my focus for very short periods of time and like to be in control of what I am doing., · A patient and understanding person.

· Someone quite active and "on the ball" to keep me occupied and safe.

· A person who respects the privacy and confidentiality of working in someone else's home.

· A reliable and punctual person.

I have 3 hours per week available during term time and 6 hours per week during school holidays.

The hours would be worked on weekends term time. I would need a PA to be available during school holidays and these hours will have more flexibility.

RATES OF PAY

£13.50 per hour plus 40p per mile where applicable.
