Job Description
We are looking for a very friendly patient professional individual who has full knowledge experience and understanding of Autism to assist in looking after my son. The PA would also need to hold a valid driving licence and have access to a vehicle. We would also prefer the PA to be first aid trained too if possible.
We have funding for 6 hours per week during School term (Saturdays will be required) and 8 hours per week during School Holidays.
The rate of pay is 15.00 per hour.
We live in Staplehurst Kent.
Assistance desired predominantly during weekends. The activities my son enjoys are both outdoor and indoor activities as he is a Proprioceptive and Vestibular Sensory Input seeker and loves being in parks swimming indoor trampoline or playcentres or at his gymnastics club Pegasus Maidstone on Saturdays. He is a very happy energetic and pleasant child to work with.
He also enjoys playing on his Ipad and snacking on his favourite treats following a trip to a shop. He loves and seeks routine.
My son has a basic level of communication he can tell carers what his basic needs and wants are often by using 4 or 5 words in a sentence. He can also communicate using visual aids.
- He is able to show whether he is happy excited or sad. His body language is also very telling.
- He has some safety awareness and sense of danger but will require careful supervision in particular around busy roads or car parks.
- He shows when he is upset by communicating verbally but will also show his emotions through body language.
- My son is very sociable loves being around other children but may need support to take turns or when waiting.
- He needs very little or no help with all his daily self-care routine.
