About the young person requiring support:

I’m looking for a Personal Assistant to support Baley, my 17-year-old son who is full of energy, laughter, and a love for life. Baley enjoys trampolining, swimming, visiting the park, and going to fun fairs and arcades. Baley has a fantastic sense of humour, loves joking around, and enjoys being a grown up. At home, Baley enjoys playing football and darts and spending time on the computer or watching YouTube.

Baley requires one-to-one support at all times due to a lack of road awareness and needs personal care assistance when using the toilet. Baley has hypermobility, prefers to walk but has a limp, and can tire when walking long distances. Communication is limited, and Baley uses Makaton to express his needs and wants. While Baley eats a normal diet, food needs to be cut up. Baley also loves walking our family dog, so it would be great if the PA enjoys this too.

The ideal PA will have experience working with disabled children and should have a happy, bubbly personality that matches Baley’s fun-loving nature. Most importantly, I’m looking for someone who can provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where Baley can continue to thrive.

About the employer: 

Hi, my name is Dominic, I am a 9-year-old boy. I have a sister and an older brother. I like playing football in the garden with my brother, I also sleep next to him at night. I enjoy going out on my scooter and walking down the beach. Trampolines are also something that I love, especially the trampoline parks.

Although I love being out and about, I can run away, sometimes I will even run straight across the road. I am full of mischief and will always put sunglasses and hats on you if I see any lying about. I like to make sure all the curtains and blinds are shut in my house. Sometimes I like to sit with my iPad and chill out after a busy day. I will eat most foods but particularly like ice lollies and milk!

There is no personal care required.
