Purpose of Job

I am looking to employ a Personal Assistant to work with my 9-year-old son. He is a friendly boy who is very active and loves being outside. He likes to play on the trampoline, going to the park, he loves swimming, bowling, and visiting soft play.

He has learning and communication difficulties, and Autism.  He therefore requires constant supervision whilst out and about in the community.

The main part of this role is to support and supervise my son when he wants to access the local community, as well as social interaction at home. He has minimum understanding and hates loud noise, so it is important to keep him focussed to avoid any distress, which can be triggered in many ways.  Experience of working with Autistic children would be preferred.

A very important part of your role will be to ensure his safety.  He has no awareness of danger, so you must take extra care when you are out in the community.

My son likes to be around happy enthusiastic people so you should be confident and outgoing.   As the Personal Assistant you will work under my direction to meet my son’s needs.

Driver with a clean licence and own vehicle is essential.

Mileage will be reimbursed.

 Post subject to references and DBS check.

Purpose of Job

My son is a happy and lovely easy going 10-year-old who loves to be active. He really enjoys being outside just about anywhere whether it is walking in the park especially Exhibition Park where he delights in playing in the sandpit or going to the beach and messing around in the water.

Other activities that he enjoys are going trampolining or the Tim Lamb Centre. He likes to listen to dance music and observing people dance.

My son has been diagnosed with Autistic Spectrum Disorder. He also has some sensory processing difficulties which impact on his ability to independently engage in activities therefore it is important that he is supported in participating in any activity. He also has limited communication using only single words, so we are looking for someone who is enthusiastic with a genuine interest and enjoyment in working with children.

The purpose of this job will be to provide him with social assistance and assisting him in achieving his goals, ensuring his safety at all times.

Driver with a clean licence and own vehicle is essential.

Mileage will be reimbursed.
