About me

I am seeking a Personal Assistant to support my 5-year-old daughter for 4 hours on a weekend in term time, and for 8 hours a week during the holidays (dates/times can be more flexible during the holidays). This role is to enable my daughter to access the community more, by taking her out for activities. She enjoys going for walks, for a drive in the car, visits to the beach and park, and swimming. Driving will frequently be required, so a full, clean driving licence and access to a car with appropriate business insurance cover is essential.

My daughter has a learning disability, and is non-verbal. Experience in this area would be helpful. She requires supervision at all times to keep her safe. I would initially supervise sessions to ensure my daughter is familiar and comfortable with you, her PA.

Tasks and duties

• To provide support in relation to existing favoured activities, such as going for walks, visits to the park and beach, and swimming.
• To take my daughter for a drive in the car, which can assist with episodes of emotional dysregulation.
• Provide one-to-one care and attention at all times, to keep my daughter safe.
• To always carry a mobile phone. This must be kept charged, for use in an emergency.
• To ensure that due consideration is always given to Health & Safety.
• It is essential that you have patience and excellent observation and interpersonal skills, to ensure needs are met.
• Any other duties not mentioned but that fall within the scope of this role should be discussed and then mutually agreed. Willing to undertake any further training if required.

What you can expect from me

• A safe, friendly, and welcoming workplace where you will be valued.
• Flexibility with working hours, particularly during the school holidays.
• Supervision and support.
• Access to training and learning opportunities.
• 5.6 weeks annual leave (pro-rata).
• Competitive rates of pay.
• Knowing that you provide essential support, making a real difference to myself and my daughter’s quality of life.

The kind of person I am looking for

• Will promote and support confidence and independence.
• Has a person-centered approach and a genuine interest in supporting people to achieve their goals.
• Can follow instructions and will establish a professional standard of care, to be always maintained.
• Will not use their personal mobile phone at work unless in an emergency.
• Is trustworthy, kind, punctual and reliable.
• Is patient and supportive with good listening skills and an ability to provide non-judgmental emotional support.
• Maintains confidentiality and respects the privacy of the family, including the prohibited use of social media in relation to the job role.
• Can work flexibly, adapting to the variable requirements of this role as required.

The role is dependent upon a DBS and 2 references.
