Job Description
Kiera is a lively, chatty 10-year-old who enjoys her time at school, has a great sense of humour, and loves to make people laugh. She lives with her mum and brother, and spends time with her grandparents.
Kiera has Autism with learning difficulties, ADHD, Epilepsy, and a gene deficiency, all managed with medication by her mum. She experiences Separation Anxiety, which is well managed by her family.
Her interests include playing with food and pretending to cook, especially enjoying celery, music (electric guitar and singing), changing accents, using her iPad, and playing with her Barbie dolls. She attends stage school on Saturdays and loves swimming, visiting sensory centres like The Tim Lamb Centre, the cinema, and parks.
The ideal candidate should have a sense of humour, patience, and experience working with children with Autism. A calm, laid-back approach is preferred to help keep Kiera regulated. As she can run off if not supervised, vigilance is necessary.
This role requires a female personal assistant, as Kiera responds better to females and has personal hygiene needs. A full clean UK driving license is essential.
Additional requirements include:
* Permission to work in the UK at the start of employment
* Exemption under the Equality Act 2010 Schedule 9 paragraphs 1-4
* The post has a genuine occupational requirement for the holder to be female, in accordance with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 and the Equality Act 2010.
This position is exempt under the Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, paragraphs 1 – 4.
