A female SEN Personal Assistant to look after a 4 year old boy
Hourly pay rate:
£17 per hour.
Location: Harrogate, HG2
Hi, I’m looking for a dedicated personal assistant to support my boy who has Autism and Global Development Delay. He is non-verbal but will find a way to let you know what he needs.
In this role, during term time you’ll be helping me (mum) twice a week with wraparound care, looking after him at home before and after school. He will be dropped off and picked up from the house so no need to do the dreaded school run! During school holidays, I will need cover on average 3 days a week so can offer 24 hours during that holiday time but this is flexible.
Your responsibilities will include assisting with personal care tasks like changing nappies, dressing and undressing, as well as giving him breakfast / dinner (which is always chicken dippers so no chef experience needed). He also has a gastrostomy tube which is used to give him milk and medication.
