Direct Payments Team Swansea
Please note this is not a Swansea city council job. You will be working with a private client who received direct payments.
A little about myself:I am a young boy with ASD, GDD and PICA. I love to run and play outside in the fresh air. I really like kitchens and cooking and mixing ingredients together. I have no sense of danger so need to hold hands when we are out and about. I am good in the car and will sit in the car seat with no problems.
If I get overwhelmed, food and firm cuddles will help me to regulate. I am fast on my feet, so you will need to be fit and able to run after me if I manage to get away from you.
I will need a PA who drives to take me to social spaces and fun places for me to play and have lots of fun. I will need a booster seat for the car.
