Job description

Personal Assistant (Child) Penrith WAF062-JC

We are looking for a lively, fun Personal Assistant for our 15 year old daughter.

Advertised on behalf of a family:

My daughter has a learning disability, Scoliosis, severe anxiety - with very specific needs around her Prader Willi syndrome and autism. She can become overwhelmed if over stimulated or stressed. She wants someone who is lively, fun and who will mess around and tease her, and not too much older than her.

My daughter is looking for support with some personal care, homework help, travel assistance and accessing activities in the community. She enjoys going out and being active, especially going on her scooter, visiting farm parks and going out for meals. She also enjoys music and cooking.

My daughter communicates verbally, but if she is dysregulated she may struggle to verbalise and will need support for her wishes to be acknowledged.
