Personal Assistant – ZHNCL

🌟 Personal Assistant Wanted for a Brilliant 7-Year-Old Explorer! 🌟

Location: Denton Burn, Newcastle Upon Tyne
Hours: 7 hours (term time), 14 hours (non-term time) – flexible with the family
Pay: £14.50 per hour

 

Are you kind, calm, and up for a bit of fun? Do you enjoy trampolining, swimming, and the occasional quiet adventure? We’re looking for a fantastic Personal Assistant to support a happy, high-energy 7-year-old boy who loves the great outdoors – but not noisy crowds!

Our son is full of life and laughter, and once he builds trust, he’s a loyal and joyful little companion. He has autism and sensory processing needs, so he’s not a fan of busy or loud places – but he thrives in quiet, predictable environments and LOVES his favourite routines (especially a visit to the Tim Lamb Centre, a bounce at the trampoline park, or a swim).

Over time, and with your help and our support, we’d love to gently explore new activities together, always at his pace.

 

What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Supporting communication using PECS and social stories
  • Encouraging and joining in with his favourite activities
  • Keeping him safe and feeling secure while out and about
  • Building a trusting, meaningful relationship with him – and us

 

What We’re Looking For:

  • A driver (essential – you’ll need to get to and from activities)
  • Someone with experience supporting children with autism
  • A patient, kind person who can keep things calm, clear and predictable
  • Someone who values consistency and is committed to building trust

 

Why This Role is Special:

You’ll be making a real difference to a young boy’s world, helping him grow his confidence, explore safely, and have fun being himself. We’ll be with you every step of the way as you get to know him – and we’ll celebrate every milestone together.

A DBS check and references are required.
Informal chats welcome before applying!

Social Care Personal Assistant – JDONCL

Job title:  Social Care Personal Assistant

Hours:  2 PAs required Term Time 2 x 3 hours per week and 2 x 5 hours Holiday Time per week.

Location:  Great Park, Gosforth, Newcastle upon Tyne

Rates of pay:  £14.00 per hour

Car Driver Essential

 

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.

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