Mohmin is a lovely 17-year-old young boy. He enjoys being at home with his family and spending time on his own researching new things on his tablet or phone. He has ASD and mobility issues so relies on a wheelchair for his mobility.
Mohmin has a very good memory and can remember all the FIFA football teams, the countries and their football players. He likes to play FIFA, he is also good at Capital Cities and will happily share his knowledge of them. Mohmin knows many interesting facts that he likes to research and he shares these facts with his friends and family. He is good at spelling words, likes to write, share funny stories, and has started to make up his own jokes. He will seek out members of his family and share funny stories with them. He likes to play on his electronic tablet and enjoys looking up facts on ‘Google’. He is particularly interested in biography books, cars, trucks, football cards and Lego.
Mohmin is looking for a PA that can share his experiences and encourage him to attend outside activities away from the family home to aid his social skills. He would like to go swimming, visit the park, attend a football match or two and is keen to explore the Handcock Museum, the local libraries and other local venues. He is keen to start horse-riding and would love the opportunity to get back in the saddle.
We are looking for an experienced individual with a background in working with children with Autism. You must be physically fit enough to manage a wheelchair and assist Mohmin in and out of his chair. Some personal care will be involved and you must have experience in catheter management.
This role requires lifting and handling so you must have a good level of fitness and be trained in Manual Handling.
