Job Description:
Support Assistant (PA) – Merthyr Tydfil
I’m looking for 2 personal support assistants, 6 hours a week each. I am an 8-year-old boy who likes being outdoors and exploring. I have ADHD and learning difficulties, but I’m happy and confident with lots of energy. I love music and arts and crafts when I’m home, but outside I love open spaces and running around.
I would like someone to help me with the following:
1. Access the local community and surrounding areas.
2. Always ensure my safety and promote my independence.
3. Encourage a happy and positive atmosphere.
4. Provide reassurance when I become unsettled; sometimes I can become overwhelmed, and during those times I need routines and boundaries.
Working Hours/Rate of Pay
£13.50 plus mileage allowance of £0.40 per mile. 6 hours per week x 2 workers can be worked flexibly.
Type of Person Required
1. Someone who is kind and patient and will respect my needs.
2. Someone who has previous experience of working with children with additional needs and behavioral challenges.
3. Full UK Driving licence – Desirable.
4. Reliability is essential.
5. Someone who is understanding and trustworthy.
6. Good clear communication skills.
7. Someone who will encourage independence.
Training
Training is available from my parents.
