We are currently recruiting for a personal assistant to assist a lovely 7-year-old little boy who has Cerebral Palsy, Global Development Delay, ASD and Epilepsy. He lives with his mum and her wife and has an older brother and cats; he also enjoys spending weekends with his dad.

Oscar is semi – verbal and he can articulate his needs using single words and short sentences with hand gestures and noises and can sing when he is enjoying activities of his choice. He is a very tactile individual and enjoys pressure hugging when he chooses to. He is a wheelchair user and wears splints to support his mobility, he needs full support when he chooses to walk as he will fall.

Oscar is looking for a PA who can accompany him to his chosen venues or activities, including local parks, Tim Lamb Centre, Adventureland and trampolining parks (quiet sessions may apply). He loves music and dancing and visiting Seven Stories and the Baltic Centre, and during the summer, enjoys trips to the coast. Oscar is sensitive to loud noise in large areas so monitoring surrounding areas is required. He is also curious when dogs are about however, he does not like them when they come within his personal space. Personal care is required in this role in the form of toileting needs.

This role would ideally suit a car driver, and this would be preferable, and someone who is used to accessing public transport, as Oscar loves to go on the metros and buses and can recite all the different station names that he passes.
