JOB DESCRIPTION 

Part-Time Personal Assistant 

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am a 17-year-old boy living in the Pontypridd area. I am a fun, jokey, kind and creative person who enjoys gaming, going to the arcades, the cinema, going out for food, arts and crafts, gadgets and technology, hands-on activities and getting out into the community. I can be quiet and withdrawn at first when meeting new people, but once I get to know and trust you I can be very chatty and enjoy talking about the things that interest me. I have been diagnosed with autism, ADHD and anxiety. I can find busy environments, unfamiliar situations and public transport overwhelming. I will need support to build my confidence and independence, access the community and develop social and life skills at my own pace.

PURPOSE OF THE JOB

To have support out in the local community, take part in activities I enjoy and build my confidence and independence.

• Hands-on creative activities, arts and crafts.
• Going out for food.
• Exploring new places and activities at my own pace.

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

• Someone who is kind, friendly, calm, patient, understanding and easy to get along with.
• A car driver is required, as public transport and busy environments can be overwhelming for me
• Someone who has similar interests and is happy to join me in activities I enjoy.
• A person who can recognise when I am becoming anxious or overwhelmed. I may become quiet, withdraw from conversation or put my hood up, and I may need calm reassurance, time and space without pressure.
• Someone who can support and encourage my confidence and independence, give clear information about plans and take time to build a consistent and trusting relationship with me.
