PA required in Wymondham to support a young man for 6 hrs p/w @ 11.68 £ p/h - Wymondham - NR18
Job Purpose:
I am a happy and busy young man with a diagnosis of learning disability, Autism, and ADHD. I am looking for a Personal Assistant to support me on Mondays with accessing the community and becoming more independent. I need reassurance and prompting all the time, or I can get upset and become confused. I like routine and knowing what I am doing. I need help to manage my daily plans because I would not be able to do this without support. You would help me to set some personal goals and support me in working towards those. This could involve going out in the local community to buy ingredients for lunch or baking, practicing budgeting and paying for items, getting onto public transport, and trying out different types of social interactions as I have only limited experience. With your help, I could join groups with similar interests as well as plan activities of my choice. You could also support me with preparing lunch, baking, or making a healthy snack. This would be a great step on my way to learn how to be more independent and gain some everyday life skills.
My main interests are football, computers, games, and War Hammer. I enjoy walking, baking, and the theatre. I like to keep busy and occupied.
