JOB DESCRIPTION
Part-Time Personal Assistant
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 13 year-old boy living in Porth town centre with my mum and cat Elsa. I am home schooled and have additional needs and sensory issues with some autistic traits but I have no formal diagnosis of anything.
I’m more comfortable around older people and tend to be nervous around my peers. I’d like to gain more confidence around them by participating in activities with them. However, I don’t like activities in crowded and noisy places.
Some of my favourite things to do is surf the internet and look at different places on the world map. USA is my favourite place and I know plenty of interesting facts about the country, especially all the US presidents. Ask me who the 5th president was and I’ll know the answer straight away! One day I’d like to visit or live there but I need to learn many life skills first. I also know plenty of other random facts about different countries and their leaders. I’m a big history buff. You’ll find I’m a chatterbox about the things I know and can be repetitive telling you the same things over again.
PURPOSE OF THE JOB
The purpose of the job is to assist me to expand my experiences and confidence. I want to develop my confidence and life skills and will need support doing this.
HOURS OF WORK
