I am looking to employ a Personal Assistant to work with my 11-year-old son. He is a friendly boy who is continually active and loves being outside. He likes going to the park, he loves swimming and long walks. He is non-verbal and has Autism, but he does understand. He has no sense of danger therefore requires constant supervision whilst active in the community.

The main part of this role is to support and supervise my son when he wants to access the local community, as well as social interaction at home. I’m looking to introduce him to using the Metro, so it is important to keep him focussed, to avoid any distress which can be triggered in many ways.

An experience of working with Autistic children would be preferred.

An important part of your role will be to ensure his safety. He has no awareness of danger, so you must take extra care when you are out in the community. My son likes to be around happy enthusiastic people so you should be confident and outgoing. As the Personal Assistant you will collaborate with me and under my direction to meet my son’s needs.

Female Social Personal Assistant – OWNCL

Hours: 18 hours per week (including weekends if required) school holidays only

Area: Newcastle Upon Tyne

Rate: £13.00 per hour

 

We are currently recruiting for a personal assistant to assist a lovely 7-year-old little boy who has Cerebral Palsy, Global Development Delay, ASD and Epilepsy. He lives with his mum and her wife and has an older brother and cats; he also enjoys spending weekends with his dad.

Oscar is semi – verbal and he can articulate his needs using single words and short sentences with hand gestures and noises and can sing when he is enjoying activities of his choice, he is a very tactile individual and enjoys pressure hugging when he chooses to. He is a wheelchair user and wears splints to support his mobility, he needs full support when he chooses to walk as he will fall.

Oscar is looking for a PA who can accompany him to his chosen venues or activities, including local parks, Tim Lamb Centre, Adventureland and trampolining parks (quiet sessions may apply). He loves music, dancing, visiting Seven Stories, the Baltic Centre and during the summer he enjoys trips to the coast. Oscar is sensitive to loud noise in large areas so monitoring surrounding areas is required. He is also curious when dogs are about, however, he does not like them when they come within his personal space. Personal care is required in this role in the form of toileting needs.

This role would ideally suit a car driver, and this would be preferable, also someone who is used to accessing public transport, as Oscar loves to go on the metros and buses and can recite all the different station names that he passes.
