About the Employer

I am a lovely 29 year old man who loves planes, airports, certain films and computer games. I am really interested in Japan. I have autism. I enjoy talking about my special interests. I also need to talk through the things that worry me, with people I trust. 

There are many places I like to visit such as the airport, garden centres, National Trust properties and coffee shops. I like to go for walks.

I go to 3 x 3 hour sessions at ECO Work-Shop during the week. 

I need support and prompting to look after myself; shop for food, prepare meals, do my laundry, look after my flat and go out and about. I live in a quiet part of Stratford upon Avon, close to my parents home, where I can walk into the town centre with my carer.

I have a car for my PA to drive, to take me where I want to go in the wider community. YOU MUST HAVE A FULL CLEAN DRVING LICENCE

I am looking for someone to join a small team of PAs, who together provide my round the clock support. You would work regular periods of care which can be agreed at interview. You must be a car driver with a full licence
