We are looking for a kind, patient, and reliable Personal Assistant to support a lovely 12-year-old girl with Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD) in her home.

About Her:
1. She enjoys calm, familiar environments and benefits from a consistent routine.
2. She communicates mostly through echolalic speech and gesture, so someone who is observant, intuitive, and respectful of her communication style is essential.
3. She needs time to build trust and feel comfortable with new people, so patience and consistency are key.
Your Role:
4. Provide support with showering and personal care in a respectful, person-centred way.
5. Observe and follow her established routines, allowing her to lead at her own pace.
6. Build a trusting relationship through calm, consistent presence and gentle encouragement.

About You:
8. You are calm, patient, and understanding, with a genuine interest in supporting young people with additional needs.

10. You are reliable, respectful of privacy and dignity, and able to work closely with the family to ensure consistent care.
This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference in a young person’s life by supporting her independence and well-being in a safe, familiar environment.
