A Personal Assistant (P.A.) is required in the Seacroft/Roundhay area to support a young man who has a diagnosis of Autism, social and communication difficulties, sensory processing, and severe learning disabilities, as well as hypermobility, in accessing local community activities. He requires support with some personal cares, i.e., prompting, but generally is independent with personal care.
He is a happy boy who is verbal but only likes to speak when he chooses to and he is very pleasant. He loves going to airports and bus and train stations and likes filming the buses while they are stationary or as they pass by. He also likes going on the buses and trains but doesn’t like it when it is too crowded, so prefers to go when it’s quieter. He enjoys going to the local park but dislikes playing there as they are usually too busy.
He must be closely supervised at all times due to his tendency to run off, potential challenging behaviours, and having no sense of danger and road safety. He requires a P.A. for a total of 7 hours a week during term time, and 7 hours during school holidays, working flexibly mostly on weekday evenings, but can also be required to work at weekends. The working days can be flexible; however, he likes to have a routine, and therefore punctuality and stability are essential in this role.
Experience of having worked with children as well as young people with Special Educational Needs (S.E.N.) is preferable. This would include some knowledge, experience, and support strategies of S.E.N. that are essential in the following areas:
- Thinking, understanding and learning
- Emotional and behavioural difficulties
- Speech, language and communication
- Sensory and/or physical difficulties
You will be entitled to holidays on a PRO RATA basis.
