JOB DESCRIPTION

Personal Assistant

 

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 42 year old woman living in Mountain Ash with my parents. I have learning difficulties which makes my behaviour very challenging. On the outside I can appear very calm and collected, but if something upsets me I can become very angry and difficult. I can also be manipulating and anyone working with me needs to know this and how to manage it.

I always need to be motivated to do things, including being reminded to use the toilet. I enjoy listening all types of music and playing on my IPad.

I enjoy going to the Cinema and also shopping and maybe stopping for a coffee and a chat.

PURPOSE OF JOB

Mainly your job will be community based and taking me out to various activities in the local community.

HOURS OF WORK

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED
