Rates of pay: £14.00 per hour.

Location: Newcastle upon Tyne (NE13 area)

Full UK driving licence essential

 

I’m looking for a Personal Assistant to support my daughter Erin who is 10 years old. Erin is a happy, smiley, lovely little girl who loves to dance and listen to music. Erin is a fan of Peppa Pig and loves looking at books and magazines.

I would like a PA to take Erin out to do some different activities. This will include going to the Tim Lamb and Alan Shearer centre. Erin may also try horse riding in the future as I think this will be something she’ll enjoy.

Erin has a condition called Phelan-McDermid syndrome, which is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development and function of the brain and body. Erin has little awareness of danger, so a Personal Assistant will need to be vigilant at all times. On occasion, Erin uses a wheelchair so you will need to be physically able to push this. You will initially spend time with me learning how best to communicate and support Erin as she is non-verbal.

A driver with clean licence is essential for this post.

There is a genuine occupational requirement for the holder of this post to be male/female in accordance with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 and Equality Act 2010.

Hours:  5 hours per week to be used flexibly

Rate of Pay:  £13.00 per hour

 

The purpose of this job is to support my son. Your job will be to provide him with the personal and social assistance that he needs. My son is a happy lively boy who really enjoys spending time in places where he can ‘people watch’, being out and about walking, going to parks to use the swings, trampolining, the ball pool in soft play centres and travelling on buses and metro’s.

My son can be nervous in unfamiliar places and may want to hold hands with the person supporting him.  My son can be very determined if there is something that he wants, wants to do, or doesn’t want to do and it can be challenging distracting him or persuading him against something. He also has no awareness of danger and will run, very quickly, towards something that catches his attention.

As my son’s Personal Assistant, you will work under my direction to meet his needs and will be accountable to me in all aspects of your work.  You must be reliable, be able to use your initiative and be able to work flexible hours.  You must also be able to respect our privacy and have an understanding of the need for confidentiality in all areas of your work.
