Social Personal Assistant 2:1 support – 2 vacancies

We are currently recruiting for two experienced personal assistants for a lovely young boy with Non – Verbal Autism & ADHD. Leo is 8 years old and always requires full supervision.  He currently resides with his mum and brother and attends a specialist school with support.  Leo has no awareness of danger and will run at every opportunity. This role would suit individuals highly experienced in working with children with autism and ADHD. You must be able to demonstrate strategies and coping mechanisms for this role.

Leo enjoys a variety of sensory stimulating activities including spinning, swimming and trips to the local parks or SEND centres. He would like to visit and explore new venues with enclosed spaces to widen his experiences within the community.  He uses a specialist wheelchair to access the community, which is fitted with a harness. Routine is very important to Leo as he can dysregulate if sudden changes occur, and due to his non-verbal autism, he cannot tell you directly what is wrong. Leo uses hand gestures and leading to show and tell you his needs. Leo can become dysregulated so coping strategies to manage these must be demonstrated and implemented to ensure his safety. Leo can self-harm if he becomes dysregulated and can lash out. He enjoys a trip to McDonalds and his favourite food is chicken nuggets. He also recently learnt to ride an adapted bike which he loves, so centres that have these facilities is always a great shout.

There are no dietary requirements, however, sugar-based food and drinks are prohibited due to the adverse effects sugar has on Leo’s behaviours.

The main tasks within this role will include supporting Leo in accessing the local community, accompanying and supporting him to engage in his chosen activities, and personal care is required for after toilet cleaning.

We require a car driver with a full clean UK Driving Licence and business insurance.

Rate of Pay: £14.50 per hour 

 

The Role 

We are looking for a friendly, enthusiastic, and reliable Female Personal Assistant (PA) to support a young girl named Frankie. The role focuses on helping her safely access and enjoy her local community while promoting her independence. 

About Frankie 

Frankie is an almost 12-year-old girl with a bright, happy personality. She is very friendly, loves to stay active, and enjoys being outdoors. Her favourite activities include: 

  • Playing in the garden 
  • Visiting the park 
  • Going for walks along the River Tyne 
  • Swimming and trampolining 
  • Colouring in (her absolute favourite!) 

Frankie has Global Developmental Delay and experiences emotional and attachment challenges. She may become dysregulated, especially during school periods or in busy environments. She requires support in recognising when to take a break from overstimulating situations.

Frankie can form attachments quickly and may be blunt in her communication, so a calm and professional PA is essential.
