About the Employer

PA required for a funny fun loving young son with early life trauma and some issues around food. He likes really bad jokes and would need someone who can relate to him in a light hearted fun loving playful way. To create positive friendships and the development of social, independent and life skills. I need to be prompted to go to the toilet if on a day out and will need supervision due to my vulnerability in disabled toilets with my radar key to ensure I lock the door and I am safe. I do need supervision around moving traffic on roads and car parks as I can get distracted. Support with going out and accessing sports / cinema / shopping. Car driver not essential as there is a good bus route near by but would make accessing activities not in the city centre easier
