I’m looking for someone kind, patient and reliable to spend time with my little boy who is autistic. He’s 4, full of character, and absolutely loves trampolining, soft play, anything to do with vehicles or buses and he never says no to a trip to a café for cake.

 

About the Role

What I’d really like is someone who can get to know him properly, understand how he sees the world, and give him fun opportunities in a safe and supportive way. Sometimes that might mean soft play, trampolining, a bus ride or a café visit, other times it might just be time at home where he feels comfortable. He needs someone calm, consistent and patient who can help him feel safe and enjoy himself.

What We’re Looking For

I would love for him to have another safe person in his world, someone he enjoys spending time with and can build a real friendship with.

The right person will be warm and reliable. A driver would be handy for outings but it’s not essential. You don’t need lots of formal experience with autism, just a genuine willingness to learn about him, as I can share what works best.

Interested?

If this sounds like you, I’d love to hear from you. Please send a covering letter and CV to: directpayments@disabilitynorth.org.uk

My daughter is a lovely, cheeky, cheerful 14-year-old girl with learning disabilities and seeks a PA to help her enjoy some independence away from mum. Whilst she enjoys park visits, swimming, shopping and mostly nosing at other people, she’s become all teenager and struggles to leave the house of home comforts like tv and i-pad. She likes baking and crafting, dancing, singing and playing pretend with babies. She is fully mobile and able bodied and just needs someone with some sense of fun to hang out with and chat nonsense.

Flexible hours are mostly needed in the holidays when mum is working but also every other Sunday if able for about 3 to 4 hours and 3 days a week in the holidays for 3 to 5 hours.

 

A visit to a café is usually her aim and she likes a variety of food but loves her regular Babyccino and one of her favourite foods is eggs and avocado.

She has a learning disability, including speech and language delay and has limited awareness of danger; therefore, the PA needs to be vigilant with her when out and about at all times.

 

Ideally, mum would like a PA who is enthusiastic with a genuine interest and enjoyment in working with children and has some experience of caring / working with children but not essential.

A driver would be preferred but not essential, mileage will be reimbursed.

This post is subject to a satisfactory DBS check and references which will be taken up if you are offered the post.
