IBK are currently supporting a family in S8 who are looking for a flexible, part – time PA for their teenage son who has a complex learning disability.

WHO ARE IBK?

IBK is a community based, not-for-profit social enterprise with over 20 years’ experience of providing Direct Payment Support to families, children and adults of all ages with a range of needs. We provide a bespoke matching service, finding the right PA for the right person.
The family are looking for a calm and experienced individual, who can use their initiative to keep their teenage son safe whilst having fun doing the things he loves whether this is in the family home or out in the community. The young man has complex learning difficulties, is predominantly non-verbal, a wheelchair user and can sometimes display challenging behaviours.
Having lots of energy, the young man loves to get out and about in busy environments, whether this is at a shop or café, especially if this involves going for food. While at home he loves music and a good dance. He would love the opportunity to make new friends and having the support to build his confidence to live his best life.
