I am seeking a dedicated personal assistant for a bubbly and inquisitive seven-year-old girl who lives in the LS23 area. She is autistic and requires someone with whom she can build a positive and trusting relationship, while receiving one-to-one support. In this role you would help her safely access appropriate activities in the local community. The person would need to be vigilant as she has a low sense of danger and have a good ability to support individuals with challenging behaviours. Candidate would have a good nature, be patient and have experience with people on the autistic spectrum. Enjoy being outside and engaging in activities. Preferably dog-friendly as we have a dog in the house, although this is not a non‑negotiable. We are a diverse household and would love to attract candidates who are inclusive and/or from diverse backgrounds. She particularly enjoys outdoor activities and loves swimming and water‑play. Beaches and pools are some of her favourite places to visit. She also loves animals and is very active. The role will focus on developing her integration, interaction, communication, life and social skills. The rate of pay is £13 per hour, plus activity expenses. Due to location a full UK driving licence and own transport are essential, along with relevant insurance needed. This role is 4 hours per week during term time and 6 hours per week in the holidays. There is a potential for overtime.
