Job Details
My middle aged son has a learning disability and I am therefore seeking a reliable and considerate PA to spend time with him on Saturdays. His PA will help to ensure that he is dressed appropriately for the weather and occasion, support him to maintain a tidy and safe home, encourage him with a healthy diet and potentially accessing the community socially. He goes to the Community Hub several days during the week where he enjoys working in the garden, which he likes to do independently. He can be very withdrawn but will communicate once he gets to know you, and he is computer literate.

Some examples might be: dyslexia friendly font/coloured paper, interview questions written down or even in advance (if needed as part of an access need), low background noise, clear view of faces for lip reading, a break in the middle of the interview or more time to think about questions.
Feel free to provide your pronouns as well in your application, so I can address you accurately (for example: she/her, they/them).
