We are looking for a kind, reliable, and flexible Personal Assistant to support my daughter, Anna, who has Autism Spectrum Disorder and significant communication difficulties. Anna requires support with personal care, social activities, and emotional regulation. She uses tools like PECS and visual prompts to aid her understanding, and routine is very important to her well-being. Your role will involve assisting Anna with activities she enjoys, such as swimming, walks, or soft play, as well as helping her navigate daily tasks, manage her emotional responses, and ensure her safety, particularly around situations she finds distressing, such as encountering dogs.
No formal qualifications are required, but experience working with children with autism is preferred. You must be patient, dependable, and able to follow direction while maintaining confidentiality. Being a driver is preferred, and training will be provided as needed. This is a rewarding role for someone with a positive attitude toward inclusion and supporting disabled children.
At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
