Job description

Personal Assistant (PA) Wanted – Warwick

I am looking for a kind, creative person to be a PA for a brilliant 12‑year‑old autistic girl in Warwick. Small adventures, big humour, and no “fixing” required – just patience, fun, and respect. This is about trust, autonomy, and connection – not “fixing” or “managing.”

You’re there to build a relationship that feels safe, relaxed, and genuine.

If you can roll with changing plans, chat about anything from eyeliner to existentialism, and keep things steady when emotions wobble — you might just be the right fit.

Looking for someone kind, creative, and flexible — the sort of person who gets that not everyone fits neatly into boxes (and wouldn’t want to anyway).

You’d be supporting a thoughtful, sometimes self‑described “socially awkward and underconfident” 12‑year‑old autistic young person with a PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance) profile and ADHD.

Life with them is full of curiosity, dry humour, and the occasional left‑field tangent — never boring.

They love:

• charity shop treasure hunts
• making and creating
• goth makeup
• The Clash
• animals

They’re not big on crowds, loud noise, or groups of kids — small‑scale adventures and calm company are more their speed.

What You’ll Do

• Build trust through respect, humour, and shared interests.
• Support her in things that feel safe and fun — at home or out and about.
• Encourage confidence and independence, always respecting choice.
• Offer calm co‑regulation when life gets overwhelming.
• Be flexible — some days need plans, others just snacks and space.
• Communicate openly and respectfully with her parent.
• Always promote safety, dignity, and self‑esteem.

About You

• Experience (paid or unpaid) supporting autistic or neurodivergent young people.
• Familiar with PDA or ADHD — or curious and willing to learn.
• Calm, patient, creative, and emotionally steady.
• Good communicator with humour and strong boundaries.
• Car driver with own car.

The Practical Stuff

• Hours: Around 3 hrs/week (can grow if it’s a good match).
• Location: Warwick – mainly home‑based, with some outings.
• Rate of Pay: To be agreed.
• Contract: Ad‑hoc, funded by Direct Payment.
• Monthly pay and payslips provided.
• Training opportunities in PDA, autism, ADHD, and trauma‑informed practice.
• An Enhanced DBS check and references are required before starting.
• You’ll work closely with the parent for guidance and feedback.
