Do you love fun days out and making kids smile? We’re looking for a caring and confident Personal Assistant to support a vibrant 9-year-old girl who’s full of energy and joy.

Our client is autistic and non-verbal, and while she communicates through behaviour, she’ll definitely let you know what she enjoys—whether it’s swimming, skating, or bouncing around at Air Thrill! Your job? Make these outings safe, fun, and supportive.

Because personal care is involved, this role is open to female applicants only in line with Schedule 9, Part 1 of the Equality Act 2010.

You must also be a driver, and travel costs will be covered.

You should be:

• Kind, reliable, and upbeat
• Patient and comfortable with non-verbal communication
• Experienced in working with autistic children (preferred)
• A PVG member (or willing to join)
• Able to think on your feet and keep things fun

The role includes:

• Support during community outings
• Keeping the environment safe and enjoyable
