Occasional PA required for autistic adult male
We require a occasional PA who can come to our home to sit with our autistic and learning disabilities son aged 29 (2024). He enjoys his own company and is happy with his interests which include Thomas the Tank Engine, Teletubbies, Rosie and Jim. It would normally be the occasional evening 3 to 4 hours or the odd Saturday for a longer period during the day. I am afraid you would need a car as we live in a village with a 4 times a day bus service. Duties would basically be to give him supper (toast) and lunch (already sorted). To remind him to drink and go to the bathroom and just to be in the house as a responsible person, as he is a 1-1 so could not be left on his own. He is calm, happy and easy to get along with at home. We would not require you to take him anywhere - he gets enough stimulation in the week and enjoys his down time at home
