Purpose of Job
I am looking to employ a Personal Assistant to work with my 11 year-old daughter. She is a friendly girl who is very active and loves being outside. She likes to play on the trampoline, go to the park, she loves swimming, and visiting soft play and activity centres like Tim Lamb centre. She loves animals such as dogs and horses, and she likes to play with her barbie dolls. My daughter enjoys activities inside like drawing/colouring in. She has learning and communication difficulties, therefore requires constant supervision whilst out and about in the community and in the home.
The main part of this role is to support and supervise my daughter when she wants to access the local community, as well as social interaction at home. It is important to keep her focussed and engaged as much as possible to avoid any distress, which can be triggered in many ways.
Experience of working with children with disabilities would be preferred.
A very important part of your role will be to ensure my daughter is continuously stimulated with fun activities to keep her engaged, to prevent any presenting behaviours.
My daughter 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 daughter’s needs.
A driver with clean licence is essential for this post.
