Job description:
I am a mother to an active 11 year old boy who has complex needs. I am hoping to recruit a personal assistant who has a patient and caring approach to care for and support my son.
I would require assistance every Wednesday and every other Friday after school to have a game of football at our home, this is something that he loves and is very knowledgeable with. Watching some television and playing on his PlayStation could be required, providing that after school he is too tired to play football.
Eventually every other Saturday, once my son is comfortable, taking him out for the day to do activities. He enjoys the seaside and playing on the arcades, swimming, cinema, football parks and going to matches, trampolining and walking into the city to get a take-away.
My son's complex needs involves him having learning difficulties, autism, speech and language delay, struggles to express his frustrations, emotions and sensory overloads, particularly towards his siblings, and has medical reflux which causes him to be sensitive to food and smells causing him to vomit occasionally.
