Summary

Please note this is not a Swansea city council job. You will be working with a private client who received direct payments.

A little about myself:

I am a seven-year-old boy with Autism, GDD and Pica behaviours. I like to jump, bounce, climb, swim and run around. I have a LOT of energy. I really love the park. I need a kind, patient, and fast on their feet PA to take me out to have fun where I can be safe and burn off some energy. I have no awareness of danger, so you need to always hold my hand unless we are in a safe secure area. I put things in my mouth which don’t belong there. I need you to keep an eye on me so that I don’t accidentally choke on an object I have picked up and put in my mouth.
