About Me

I’m a 10-year-old boy and I live in Hereford with my mum, dad, brother, and sister. I have learning difficulties and ADHD. I also have a hearing impairment which can make my speech a little difficult to understand at times. I am very active and am always on the go. I love swimming, trampolining, and Flip Out. I love puzzles and solving things. I am looking for a fun PA who can keep up with me!

I love playing with other children but can be a bit rough so you’ll need to make sure I am behaving appropriately.

Job details

Supporting me out in the community.

Making sure I behave appropriately.

Supporting me to take my medication.

I have little road sense so making sure I am safe when out and about.

I love meeting people and will talk to anyone so making sure I’m safe while doing so.

About You

Previous experience of similar work is desirable but not essential, as I will make sure you get the training you need.

You must be able to understand the importance of confidentiality, be patient, calm, be a good communicator and have a good sense of humour.

You must be Reliable, and committed to agreed working hours with a degree of flexibility

A good attitude to independence is important to understand and be flexible in working style to accommodate a child with disabilities.

You will need to be a car driver/owner.

About Direct Payments

Direct payments are available from Local Authorities for people who have a care and support plan in place following a social care assessment. An amount of money is allocated to purchase the assistance and care needed to live independently.

I should stress that I will be your employer and have full responsibility for recruitment, contracts, supervision, pay, training etc. A support service assists me in meeting my responsibilities as an employer.

Salary: This is a flat rate of pay that takes account of unsociable hours and weekend working.

Hours: These are the minimally contracted hours. If I require additional support at other times I will try to give as much notice as possible, an ability to be flexible would be an advantage
