I am looking for a personable carer for my son who is 38 years old and suffers from cerebral palsy. He is a good communicator with a great sense of humour and is passionate about football and loves to participate with friends playing pool and dominoes.  Has regular exercises to do at home to help strengthen and maintain muscle health. He needs to be warm at all times and cannot be outside in very windy weather, needing someone to link arms with to keep his stability when out walking, as likes to go walking along the piers locally.

Some personal care will be required e.g. general hand and foot care, shaving and being assisted to the barber’s at least once every 6 weeks. Someone who drives is essential, ideally who lives close to Whitburn.

Hours to be arranged mutually with both parties.

The successful applicant will require a DBS check and be able to get on well with Roger who is our rescue cat.

We’re looking for a kind, patient, and enthusiastic Personal Assistant to support an 11-year-old boy who has a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD). He experiences challenges with learning, communication, social interaction, and emotional regulation.

He has sensory sensitivities and processing difficulties and sometimes mouths or eats non-edible items (Pica), which can affect his health. His speech and language are significantly delayed, and he communicates mostly through gestures and body language.

Despite these challenges, he’s a bright and active young boy who enjoys a wide range of activities! He loves exploring both indoors and outdoors, playing with trains, using the iPad, messy play, soft play, and building with LEGO. He also enjoys singing nursery rhymes, number games, PE, trampolining, biking, and swimming.

He has severe learning difficulties and is working well below age-related expectations. He lives at home with his mum, dad, and older sibling. Some personal care is required, as he is not fully toilet trained. He may request to wear a pad and can become upset or emotional if it’s removed, sometimes leading to head banging when frustrated.

He is very sensitive to noise and can become anxious or overwhelmed in busy environments, which may lead to meltdowns.
