VOG932 Personal Assistant

I am looking for a Personal Assistant to support me with my independence and to keep me safe in the community., 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 on a four weekly basis on receipt of a payslip from Dewis Centre for Independent Living. You will receive 5.6 weeks paid holiday (pro rata).

You will be required to attend any training that is identified as necessary.

I am a 39-year-old man living in the Barry area with my Mum. I can be difficult to understand as I have a diagnosis of Fragile X. It can also cause mood swings and difficulties interacting with others. I also have autism and epilepsy. My epilepsy is light sensitive, so I can never be near flashing lights. I enjoy swimming, bowling, badminton and pool. I also used to be on skittles team with my brother. I enjoy going out for meals, to the shops and down to Barry Island. I am easy going and friendly. I attend Vale Plus Day Service on a Tuesday and Thursday. I can become anxious on the bus, so this is not a suitable mode of transport and I do not have any road awareness and unable to access the community alone., Friendly, chatty, reliable and trustworthy
A driver with own car and business class insurance
Experience of epilepsy, I am prescribed Buccal Midazolam
