Job description

PA Required for Teenager with Emotional Needs in Knowle - 6hrs/wk @ £12.60ph

Apply at UKCIL.com. Reference: e3be2a8c

Location: Knowle (BS4)
Hourly Rate: £12.60
Start Date: As soon as possible
Working Pattern: Saturday & Sunday: 3 hours per day (flexible timing)

We are looking for a nurturing, empathetic, and reliable Personal Assistant to support J, a teenager with PTSD, anxiety, and emotional difficulties. J is warm and caring but experiences high levels of anxiety and takes time to build trust with new people. You’ll play a key role in helping her feel safe and supported, especially in social situations.

About the Role: This is not a standard care role. We’re seeking someone with experience working with individuals who have experienced trauma and/or self‑harming behaviours. You will need to offer emotional support and be a calm, consistent presence in J’s life.

Responsibilities Include:

• Providing emotional reassurance and companionship
• Supporting J with accessing the community and social activities (e.g., swimming, bowling, walks, etc.)
• Helping build J's confidence in social environments

Ideal Candidate:

• Experienced in trauma‑informed care or emotional/mental health support
• Patient, kind, and naturally nurturing
• Non‑smoker
• Dog‑friendly (one small dog in the home)
• Comfortable driving — a car is essential, as J does not use public transport
• DBS check required

Flexibility: Some flexibility around hours is appreciated. Weekend timings can be adjusted slightly to suit both parties. This role may suit someone looking for part‑time hours, or a second position alongside other commitments.

Shared Interests: J enjoys swimming, bowling, walking the dog, and bike rides — bonus points if you do too!

If you’re kind, dependable, and believe you can offer J the consistent support she needs to flourish, we’d love to hear from you.

Key Responsibilities

• Social + Leisure activities
• Support to remain independent

Transportation

• Full UK driving license
• Own personal car
