About Me (Ibraheem)

I am 14 years old and reside with my mum and dad, I have 3 older sisters who have all left home, (I get spoilt more now 😊) but they visit quite regularly, and are on the phone to mum regularly.

I require structure and routine and individuals with clear boundaries and ability to reinforce instructions to keep me safe and regulated as I have no sense of danger. I am non-verbal so you must be willing to learn all my cues and quirks.

My passion is escalators and lifts, I could spend all day in and on them, I have a weekly routine where I go to the Metro Centre and Newcastle just to access all the different equipment, I love the weekends where I get to do this activity. I am looking for a PA who can accompany me to activities of my choice (it will be anywhere with a lift or escalator). I enjoy visiting our local parks and playing football, I also enjoy local nature parks like Bolam Lakes, but after an hour or s I may become tired or want to end the activities and go home. At home I enjoy watching Mickey Mouse Club house and scrolling on YouTube. Mum makes fantastic Asian cuisine, and I do enjoy her cooking, but my favourite thing to eat is Hoola Hoops and I only ever drink water, I do have to be supported with eating, and you may need to cut certain food up for me at times.

I also enjoy bus watching and can spend time watching the local buses near where I live. I would love to visit a transport museum to see all the various transport vehicles. Could you take me there please? Oh, by the way I am not too good in shops so best avoid these as I can become dysregulated, all of the lights and noises are awful.

I am a happy social young man, and we could have some good adventures if any of this sounds like your ideal job role.

If this sounds like a role you’d enjoy and you think we’d be a good fit, please apply.
