About the Employer

Personal Assistant, with experience of Adults with Autism, required to assist me with social activities and support me to access the local community.

Experience of having a child with special needs in school would be preferable. I sometimes struggle with setting boundaries and spatial awareness so would like some guidance in these areas also.
