Personal Assistant - Lancaster
We are seeking a compassionate, patient, and neuroaffirmative Personal Assistant (PA) to support a teenage boy who thrives in environments that promote autonomy, emotional safety, and validation. This role is ideal for someone with experience or interest in working alongside neurodivergent young people using a strength-based, person‑centred approach.
The Ideal Candidate Will:
* Be calm, emotionally attuned, and responsive, with a strong commitment to neuroaffirmative practice.
* Demonstrate understanding of sensory processing, anxiety, and the impact of transitions and change on neurodivergent individuals.
* Be confident in taking a flexible and intuitive approach, rather than task-focused support.
* Have a genuine interest in building connection through shared interests, particularly outdoors and nature-based activities.
* Value autonomy and agency, always working with the young person, not on or to them.
This is a part‑time position for 6 hours per week term‑time and 10 hours non‑term‑time, with an hourly rate of £12.71 plus 5.6 weeks paid annual leave and a workplace pension scheme.
This post is subject to an enhanced DBS clearance (the cost of which will be met by the employer).
