About The Employer
The child is an incredibly happy, funny, loving, and caring boy with a fantastic sense of humour (and absolutely no filter! ). He has an amazing memory and remembers everything—especially dates! We are looking for a kind, reliable, committed, and enthusiastic Personal Assistant (PA) to support our wonderful son, who is young and autistic. He has additional needs, including some behavioural challenges, and has limited awareness of danger, so he requires close supervision and a calm, understanding approach.
