Job description
Young man seeking PA for social support in Caister, 4 hours a week @ £11.00 p/h
Apply at UKCIL.com. Reference: b674fdb4
Job Purpose:
I am a young man with ASD and ADHD who is looking for a PA to accompany me out of the house and encourage me to socialise and engage with my peers. I would like someone who can be a positive role model and support me to attend social activities. I enjoy going out to eat and love donuts and burgers, especially Five Guys. I do have sensory processing disorder and loud sounds and certain smells, like alcohol, can be off putting. As a result I don't like attending Pubs. I have a seasonal job but a limited income so need my P.A. to support me to improve managing my budget and doing domestic tasks including shopping.
I am an avid gamer and enjoy playing many kinds of video games. I’m currently studying Games Design at College and am very involved in music, starting a 2 year music course in September this year. I hope to be able to pursue this as a career potentially writing music for gaming the future. I love Animals, especially cats and dogs as well as exotic animals. I have three dogs of my own at home, including my therapy dog Luna.
Although I would like my P.A. to have shared interests it is most important that they have a professional relationship with me and work on developing my life skills in preparation for independent living.
