FEMALE PA REQUIRED (IDEALLY) FOR YOUNG ADULT AGED 17 WITH A LEARNING DISABILITY KIPPAX LEEDS LS25, 6HRS PER WEEK – 3HRS FRIDAY, 3HRS SATURDAY (8HRS PER WEEK IN SCHOOL HOLIDAYS) @£12.40 PER HOUR.

Job purpose;
I am a 17-year-old teenager with a Learning Disability who is sporty and enjoys being busy.
As I get older, my parents and I feel it’s important for me to develop my independence skills even further and so I am looking for a PA (Ideally a female that I can relate to) to help me get out of the house at weekend and do the things I enjoy.
I go to a boxing club every Friday night and I’d also like to go to more clubs generally.
We would like someone to work with me 6 hours per week, (preferably Friday’s and Saturdays) but we can be flexible.
I love music and anything sporty, going to the cinema as well as cooking. Moreover, I’d like support to try new things such as rock climbing. I’d also like to go out more and try social activities using public transport and getting about.
I love to have fun and it’s important to me that my PA has a good sense of humour and is energetic. I have a dog as well.
I’m at college Mon – Thurs and free Friday and Saturday’s, but available through the week in the college holidays (where I have more hours available).
If you would like to inspire me and help me to develop my life skills and independence, we would love to hear from you.
