Jobbeschreibung

Fun-Loving 11-Year-Old Seeks Personal Assistant | Berwick upon Tweed | £14.67ph

Are you patient, caring and energetic, with a sense of fun? We are looking for a friendly and reliable Personal Assistant to support a happy, fun-loving 11-year-old boy to enjoy activities, explore his local community and try new experiences at his own pace. He has Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), sensory processing disorder and significant learning disabilities. He is largely non-verbal and communicates in his own unique way, so taking the time to get to know him, understand his cues and build a trusting relationship will be an important part of the role. He loves getting out and about, exploring local parks, browsing the shops and, like many children his age, enjoying the occasional McDonald’s! The role is all about helping him have fun, enjoy meaningful time away from home and gradually build his confidence and independence. You will support him to access leisure activities and explore the local community safely. Personal care, including continence care, is also required. We are looking for someone who is calm, compassionate, patient and proactive, with plenty of enthusiasm for finding activities and outings he will enjoy. Experience of supporting children with autism or additional needs would be helpful, but just as important is a positive attitude and a genuine willingness to get to know him and understand what matters to him. A driver with access to a vehicle is preferred.

Hours & Pay

• £14.67 per hour
• 5 hours per week during term time
• 10 hours per week during school holidays

This is a lovely opportunity to build a meaningful relationship with a young person, help him discover new experiences and make the most of his community, while having plenty of fun along the way. If you think you could be the right person for him, we would love to hear from you.
