Description

JOB TITLE:
Personal Assistant (PA)

REPORTING TO:
Mr. A Brown

OVERVIEW:

To assist me with building up my confidence to do outdoor activities as independently as possible with support, as well as building up a companionship with my P.A.

ABOUT ME:

Archie is a sociable young man who has speech and language difficulties. He is interested in and plays football. He plays the drums and is interested in music. He enjoys bowling, music and playing FIFA. He likes meeting up with his friends.

Archie has been in a very sheltered educational settings and is vulnerable. He will needs lots of support, understanding the next stage of his life and those around him.

He needs to be reminded of traffic awareness, as he only has limited independence, and usually when travelling stays very local to home.

He attends college 4 days a week during term time. Days off are usually Tuesday's and the weekend. For most of the time we are at home and Archie needs to have a daily activity - even if it is just a walk locally, if not he would stay at home on the XBOX or watching the TV

There are very few activities for 17 year old for high functioning SEN young adults who enjoy sport and music, however we are trying to always keep an eye out for any new activities which may arise.

He dislikes fire alarms, going to large theatres and stadiums and fruit.

DUTIES WILL INVOLVE:

Archie needs supporting to become more independent. Ideally the family would like some flexibility, Friday evenings is when he likes to do activities with his friends. Your responsibility would be to take him to the activity and pick him up. Occasionally, you may have to stay with him to make sure he is safe. During half term it would be ideal to organise a day trip for him once a week.
