Dakota is a very loving and caring 9 -year-old girl who loves chase and tickle games. Dakota has lots of energy, loves to be on the go and loves interacting with others. Dakota is a very outgoing little girl who loves going for walks, the beach, swimming, soft play, and trampolining. She loves to interact with her peers and hates to see anybody upset. If she sees somebody upset, she will try and comfort them, ask if they’re okay and will try to tickle them to make them laugh. Dakota doesn’t have much sense of danger and always needs supervision, especially near roads or traffic. She can be quite stubborn if she’s going somewhere she doesn’t want to and will protest if she doesn’t like it.

Ideally, she would like a PA who is enthusiastic with a genuine interest and enjoyment in working with children and has some experience of working with disabled children.

A car driver in this role is essential and mileage will be reimbursed.

Purpose of Job

Our son is a loving and creative 12-year-old boy who likes to draw and make clay models of his favourite characters. He likes to go for beach and woodland walks. He also likes swimming, trampolining, and soft play activities. He does have his little quirks and challenges like most children with ASD, like his autism rituals that he likes to do when transitioning. He doesn’t like to be rushed so patience is vital but once he has done his little rituals, he is fine to transition.

He can be vocal, and his speech is getting better, but he mainly uses his choice book when requesting his wants and needs. He doesn’t have much sense of danger so needs the extra support when transitioning from one place to another, near roads, etc. Ideally, his PAs would enjoy walking, trampolining and swimming so that he can participate in these activities. It is a must that his PAs are enthusiastic with a genuine interest and enjoyment in working with children. This will mostly be for weekends and school holidays where he can enjoy an activity.

This will be 2 to 1 support role so will require working alongside another PA. Being a car driver is essential so that he can be transported safely, and mileage will be reimbursed at 0.45p per mile.
