He is warm and funny with a great sense of humour.
The PA’s will help the young man access social activities in his community. He enjoys swimming, bowling, going to the cinema and playing on the arcades.

He also likes to be at home playing on his Play Station and he loves watching cartoons. You will need to be a good communicator, have a flexible approach to working and be able to work as part of a team. Experience is not essential as training will be given.
