Descrizione del lavoro

Phoenix is a lovely, affectionate 6-year-old boy who lives with his parents and older brother in the west end of Newcastle. He loves listening to music, is fascinated with numbers and loves to be cuddled. Phoenix likes to be active and being outdoors especially going for long walks. He also likes to spend time in local parks and loves to go trampolining and swimming.

Phoenix has been diagnosed with Autism and ADHD which finds him being really frustrated with transitioning from one activity to another. When outdoors he normally has reins as he has no awareness of danger and will run off at any opportunity, therefore the PA would have to be constantly vigilant with him when out and about.

Ideally, mum and dad would like a PA who is enthusiastic with a genuine interest and enjoyment in working with children and has some experience of caring / working with children with Autism or ADHD.

A driver is essential for this role; mileage will be reimbursed.

This post is subject to a satisfactory DBS check and references which will be taken up if you are offered the post.

This vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed.

At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
