Support Worker/PA (Wrexham area)

Support Worker/PA

About me:

I am an 11-year-old boy looking for a Support Worker. 

I am very sociable and active and love having fun. 

I enjoy being outside and like all means of transport but particularly like trains.

My hobbies include horse riding, swimming, trampolining and going to the theatre and circus.

I am non-verbal but I am working towards my speech and can communicate via Makaton and an automated device. 

I can display challenging behaviour at times and my care-givers use a positive behaviour support plan as I struggle with transitions and moving from one activity or location to another.

It would be an advantage if the PA has a full driving licence.
