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.

 

This vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed.

Personal Assistant – JMANCL

Hours: 8 hours per week

Rates of pay: £12.21 per hour

Location: Newcastle upon Tyne (NE15 Throckley)                                                   

 

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.
