Leeds, United Kingdom UKCIL Full time

**I am looking for a PA to support my son Lucas.
- Lucas is 13 years old who enjoys trampolining, going to the park, going to the shops, making clay models, watching videos and then telling you all about them
- Lucas is autistic and requires support around managing his emotions when things get tricky for him, like when he gets a bit overwhelmed with what is happening around him.

Main duties:
**Social duties**:

- I would really like you to be able to support Lucas with becoming more independent and:

- Supporting him to do the things he enjoys such as going to trampoline parks, going to playgrounds, eating out.
- Attending social events such as parties or going to the cinema
- Socialising with family and friends
- Taking him out for his tea
- There is no personal care involved with this role.

- These duties may vary from day to day.
- Type of person that you/they are looking for:
**Values** - Lucas is looking for a reliable person who is punctual (he gets stressed waiting) and who has the ability to build a good relationship with him.

This will involve having an understanding and experience of interacting in a patient and non-judgemental way with autistic people. A willingness to travel locally to take Lucas to the places that interest him is also required.
- What you can expect to receive:

- While you must already have an understanding and experience of interacting with autistic people, full training will also be given. You will also be supported during your induction/first few weeks of working with Lucas. You will be able to access other training opportunities if you want to and with receive a competitive rate of pay. We can work together to identify a working pattern that works for both you and for Lucas.
