About the client:
Our 16-year-old son has autism and learning disabilities. He is a strapping lad who can be full of mischief. He currently engages with a PA to help him access multi-sports during the week. We are looking for someone to help him take part in cycling along the local cycle path (in the spring/summer at Lochore meadows too). I and my other son would accompany the PA, so I can attend to any care needs of our son. We are looking for a PA to keep up with him running or to walk beside him. He also loves walks, feeding the ducks, basketball, swimming. This post would be ideal for a local student who is studying P.E./ teaching/care and would be a great addition to their CV too with experience of working with someone my son’s age to help them access leisure activities.
