Personal Assistant Required
We are looking for a caring, reliable and enthusiastic Personal Assistant to support our son for 4 hours per week in the Weston-super-Mare area.
This person is 13 years old and has the most incredible sense of humour. He is a kind, gentle boy who loves making people laugh and life is never dull when he is around. This person uses a wheelchair and is unable to walk independently, although he can weight-bear and assist with transfers. He also has epilepsy, which is currently well controlled with medication. He also requires support with toileting.
This person's interests include:
· Superheroes
· Swimming
· Trips to the park
· Exploring the local community
· And most importantly... FOOD!
The role will involve supporting this person to access his local community and develop his independence and life skills. This may include:
· Using public transport
· Practising paying for items in shops and cafés
· Building confidence in community settings
· Accessing leisure activities and places of interest
A driver would be desirable; however, this is not essential as there are good public transport links into Weston-super-Mare.
