Scarlett is a delightful, bubbly, full of energy 5-year-old little girl. She has Autism, Global Developmental Delay, Learning Disabilities and Sensory Processing Disorder. Scarlett is non-verbal and communicates using gestures and leading methods, she can become dysregulated if her needs are not understood and met adequately and in a timely manner for her, this can be a slight response or it can escalate to more challenging behaviours including hurting herself, but this not a regular occurrence. Distraction methods are used to regulate which include food and drink and keeping her in a safe space.

Scarlett is looking for a dedicated, experienced SEN personal assistant who can accompany her to activities that she enjoys, including swimming, trips to the local parks, Tim Lamb Centre sessions and The Alan Shearer Centre. She really enjoys sensory stimulating environments and particularly enjoys being outdoors.

Full supervision is always required as Scarlett will run off if unsupervised and has no sense of danger.

When at home, Scarlett enjoys watching Peppa Pig and Ben & Holly and likes to be on her phone to access her programmes.

Routine and planning are key in preparing for any events to prevent dysregulation, and if she has an idea of what is going to be happening, she is keen to engage.

Personal care will be expected in this role including nappy changing.

Car driver is preferred but not essential as Scarlett really enjoys accessing public transport.

This is an employed role.
