My 14 year old daughter is a sociable, happy and easy going person. She is chatty, friendly and a keen swimmer who loves animals.

She has autism, ADHD and epilepsy and is medicated for epilepsy, including emergency medication. Due to ongoing medications, her epilepsy presents as absent / vacant and so it is not always obvious that she is having a seizure - she will just go either very still, freeze in the moment and most commonly become non-responsive.

She is currently supported by a carer every other weekend and I am looking for extra support from a part time PA / care assistant.

Duties will include

• Staying with my daughter in the house if I am out with my other children eg when she is colouring
