Purpose of Job

Maisy is a lovely, bouncy, happy funny 6-year-old girl who lives with her mum and 2 sisters in the west end of Newcastle. She loves to always be on the move and is always singing and dancing and her current favourite is Minions Zumba to which she knows all the words and moves perfectly. Maisy happily spends her time on her iPad whether it’s listening to musicals, watching cartoons or Dinosaur World or World blocks.

Maisy loves to be out and about, one or her favourites being the beach where she likes to run back and forward with the waves and go on nature walks like Hamsterly Forest, Bolam Lake and Northumberlandia for open spaces and freedom. Maisy also enjoys spending time at the soft play but prefers quiet sessions as she doesn’t like crowds.

Maisy doesn’t go anywhere without her companion Pepi Nana

Maisy is autistic and has learning difficulties as well as Pica and must always be watched carefully regarding this. She has no awareness of danger, so the PA must be vigilant when out and about with her.

 

Ideally, we are seeking a PA with some experience of working with children with autism, who are enthusiastic with a genuine interest and enjoyment in working with children.

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

At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
