Personal Assistant

I am a 16 year old girl living in Roath, Cardiff. I have Down Syndrome and I am mostly non-verbal. I know some Makaton but most of the time I communicate through gestures and facial expressions. I am a kind and funny person. I love music, art and crafts. I don't like crowded places and noise.

The main reason for the position is to support me out in the community and encourage my independence.

3 hours support for social activities. Would prefer between 2pm and 5pm on Saturdays, but can be flexible.
