A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

 

I am a 17-year-old person living in the Beddau area with my family and pets. I enjoy colouring, playing piano, cooking food and would also like to ice skate more often. I also take part in performing arts.

I use they/them pronouns.

I experience non-epileptic seizures and feelings of anxiety. I am diagnosed with autism. I also tire easily so on longer days out do make use of a wheelchair.

PURPOSE OF JOB

I am looking for a PA to support me to access the community and take part in social activities and to develop my social skills. The aim is also to make me more independent.

HOURS OF WORK

I have 6 hours per week available during term time and 12 hours during school holidays.

During term time I would be looking for the PA to work Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.

During holidays this would be more flexible.

I am happy for someone to apply for part hours if you cannot commit to both days.
