Further Information: A confident and patient Personal Assistant is required to support a disabled young man in the HU9 area of the city. He has autism, ADHD, OCD and experiences communication difficulties. He is unable to communicate verbally and uses non-verbal communication and therefore his PAs will need to encourage him to use his Now and Next Cards and PECS (Picture exchange communication system). You will be working under the direction of his parents and alongside an existing PA as 2:1 support is required. The PA will have the ability to build good relationships with people based on trust and respect. Full training and support will be provided. The young man has no safety awareness and the PA will need to remain alert and vigilant at all times. There will be some personal care involved so sensitivity and kindness is a must. He enjoys going out for lunch and going for walks alongside activities such as basic book reading, early learning, playing and cooking and the PA will need to assist him accessing social activities. A car driver would be preferred with mileage costs to be covered by the employer.
