Finley is a happy, energetic and boisterous boy who has a great sense of humour and a huge smile. Finley has diagnosis of Global Developmental Delay and Autism. He is non-verbal but can make his needs known in various ways such as taking someone’s hand and leading them to an item he wants. He can also make different vocalisations to show whether he is happy or sad.

To support his communication Finley is starting to use some core vocabulary symbols and can make his own choices from photographs. Finley can sometimes struggle with transitions and likes to be shown photographs of where he is going. Adults supporting Finley should use short sentences and key words.

Finley has a visual impairment which causes him to squint. He also has an unsteady gate, and his feet turn inwards when he walks and runs and can make it seem like he is going to topple over. Neither of these seem to cause him any distress or to need further support.

Finley LOVES being outdoors whatever the weather, wind and rain being his favourite. He likes climbing up high and watching different materials blow in the wind, especially flags. He likes swimming, parks and after being so active having some nice food. Finley needs his food cut up and support to eat using cutlery. He can put too much in his mouth at once and is at risk of choking.

Finley needs support with all of his personal care and constant supervision. He has no awareness of danger and is a very fast runner! Finley uses a wheelchair when he is being supported to access the community to keep him safe.

This post is subject to a satisfactory DBS check and references which will be taken up if you are offered the post.
