A bit about me:
I am a happy, healthy 8 year old boy. I go to school but in my free time I enjoy playing on my xbox. I also love being outside where I can run around. I like going to the park to play on the different apparatus or in the woods at forest school. I am very clever at communicating my needs, even if I can’t always find the right words. My family and siblings are important to me and I like having a routine. Playing, exploring and learning are also important to me.
About the role:
I need support because sometimes I find life tricky as I have autism and can get anxious when I am in a noisy or busy place. We love going on family days out but sometimes my Daddy needs to be away with his work. When he is away my Mummy would really like someone to help keep me company and keep me safe on our outings, especially as my younger brother and baby sister often need her attention too! I may also need help with personal tasks such as using the toilet.
The kind of person I am looking for:
I am looking for somebody who is friendly and approachable. Responsible, reliable and trustworthy. Good communication and social skills. To respect confidentiality and privacy and be sensitive to my needs. To understands that dignity and independence are important. Able to accept responsibility. Be willing to learn and able work on your own initiative.
