About me
I am a 14-year-old autistic boy with a PDA profile.
I enjoy football, animals, exploring, gaming and creating jokes.
I need someone who understands autism and PDA, and who can adapt their language, so it feels non-demanding. It is important to me that I am offered choice, flexibility and clear explanations. I may need support from someone who can stay calm and keep things safe if I am finding things difficult or my behaviour becomes challenging.
Role overview
I am looking for someone who can support me to get out and about in the community and enjoy days out. Overnight care may also be needed if my parent is admitted to hospital or has surgery. This support can take place in my own home if needed.
Hours and pay
- £13.45 per hour + expenses
- 24 Hours per month
- Annual leave 5.6 weeks pro rata
- My schedule can be shared so the PA can let us know what support they can offer on a weekly, fortnightly or monthly basis.
- Flexible hours to suit my needs and the PA’s availability
Skills and qualities
- Patient and able to give me time and space when I need it
- Caring and respectful
- Outgoing and willing to support me with activities I enjoy
- A good sense of humour and happy to get involved in my interests
- A male personal assistant is preferred but applications will be considered on their merits
Essential requirements
- Must have a driving licence and access to a car
- PVG membership required
- Able to provide overnight care when required
Please note that Capability Scotland are not the employer, but are acting on behalf of our client, who is the legal employer.
