Job description

Personal Support Assistant – Sunday Afternoon (4 hours)

I am a 10yr old boy with a diagnosis of autism spectrum disorder (ASD) and ADHD. I love playing with my favourite toys – trains, Lego, and bugs – and I find comfort in familiar routines and environments. I am chatty and love to talk about my interests. I enjoy watching YouTube and DVDs, and my iPad is one of my favourite ways to relax. I have a warm and loving relationship with my family. Although I can be very funny and imaginative, I do sometimes find it difficult to cope with transitions or unexpected changes, and I may become distressed or overwhelmed.

I also need help with developing my independence; this role is more than just supervision – it's about creating a lasting, positive relationship with me. It's about helping me grow in confidence, enjoy new experiences, and develop life skills. Your support will not only improve my well‑being but also offer reassurance and help me access the world more safely, confidently and joyfully.

• Support me during sessions with another worker (2:1).
• Be a kind, calm and consistent adult.
• Work on Sundays during term time for 4 hours.
