Job description

A female PA is required for a 12‑year‑old girl who is interested in Anime, gaming, cosplaying, learning languages, art, sea life, space, musical theatre, listening to music and self‑learning instruments. She also occasionally swims. She would like to visit shops/food places/attractions of her interest such as HMV, Forbidden Planet, B&M, Home Bargains, Chinese Supermarkets, The Deep, the cinema, comic cons, Menkind, boba stands/shop, Yankee Land and Real China. She has an autism diagnosis and is home‑educated. She doesn’t like to leave the home unless it’s specifically to pursue her interests. She needs a PA she can trust and who can aid her to develop her independence. The PA would give her parents respite time. Personal care will be involved, as she requires support when dressing or changing clothes at the swimming pool or in shop changing rooms. Applicants who hold a driving licence and have access to their own vehicle will be preferred. There is a genuine occupational requirement for a female worker, and therefore only applications from females will be considered.
