I am a shy young man of primary school age and my mother, and I would like to employ a patient and responsible support worker to help me access my local community and amenities.
I enjoy getting out and about, especially to the beach. It would be advantageous if my PA has knowledge of the local areas so that we can explore other activities which may interest me.
On a weekly basis I attend my local swimming pool and would like my PA to accompany me so that I may continue to engage in this activity.
I am also interested in gaming, computers and technology so I would like a support worker with similar interests so that they can help me pursue these hobbies.
The hours of work will be 2 hours a week to attend the swimming pool, in addition to 3 hours every other week during term time for other activities. During the school holidays the hours of work will be 6 hours per week. Hours will be arranged and mutually agreed in advance.
