My daughter is a lovely, cheeky, cheery 15-year-old girl who lives with me (mum), her older brother, a dog and two cats which she adores.

I am looking for a PA to help her enjoy some independence away from mum. She is full of energy and loves being active and really enjoys going to parks and one of her favourites is the zipline. She also likes to go to soft play, swimming, trampolining, shopping where she can nose at other people, and likes to visit the Tim Lamb Centre.

A visit to a café is also a big thing for her and she likes to order whether it’s breakfast or brunch, a Babyccino, and one of her favourite foods is eggs and avocado.

She has learning difficulties and has no awareness of danger therefore the PA needs to be vigilant with her when out and about at all times.

Ideally, mum would like a PA who is enthusiastic with a genuine interest and enjoyment in working with children and has some experience of working with disabled children

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.
