We are looking for a Personal Assistant for a little seven-year-old boy. A woman would be preferred but Gran is willing to look at anyone who applies.

He currently lives with his maternal grandmother and has done on and off since birth. He has a diagnosis of 22Q Chromosone deletion (DiGeorge Syndrome) as well as other health conditions and this has impacted on his learning, he is nonverbal and communicates through hand leading, pointing, some Makaton and gestures. Look past the illness and this is a cheeky loving little boy.

He is usually good with people other than Gran, but he will push the boundaries to get his own way and sometimes a firm ‘no’ is needed and to distract him.

There would be some personal care as Logan...
