About the Role:

I work full-time but also enjoy spending time with family and friends, traveling, cooking, and enjoying a good night out.

As a PA, you’ll be an integral part of my life and will be welcomed into my family as one of our own. Drivers licence essential.

My name is Daniel, I have ASD/LD- although I’m 13 yrs old I’m intellectually much younger. I am able to verbalize my needs but use phrases mainly to communicate so you will need to learn my language. I can have challenging behavior and sensory issues that make me stim a lot. You will need to learn my routine and help with sensory issues by using a weighted blanket and other sensory equipment. I am a happy lad that loves to be read too and likes someone who can draw for me, mainly minions and Disney characters. I live with my mam and older brother. I have my own wet room to make it easier for someone to help me with a wash and I wear a back pack with rein when walking as I have no fear and don’t understand the world around me.

I can have challenging behaviour so I need a PA who has had experience of this. We have no pets.
