I experience non-epileptic seizures and feelings of anxiety. I am diagnosed with autism. I also tire easily so on longer days out do make use of a wheelchair.

PURPOSE OF JOB

I am looking for a PA to support me to access the community and take part in social activities and to develop my social skills. The aim is also to make me more independent.

HOURS OF WORK

I have 6 hours per week available during term time and 12 hours during school holidays.

During term time I would be looking for the PA to work Tuesday, Thursday or Saturday.
