Social Personal Assistants x2 – REHNCL

Hours: 12.5 hours per week per position, school holidays only- 2:1 support

Area: Heaton, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Rate: £15.00 per hour

 

We are currently recruiting for 2 experienced personal assistants for a loving young boy with Autism, Global Development Delay, and a Learning Disability. Our client always requires full supervision as they have no awareness of danger.  He currently resides with his mum and sister and they have a cat so you must be an animal lover.  This role would suit individuals that have experience working with children with autism either in an educational setting or lived experience with relevant qualifications.

Reggie enjoys a variety of sensory stimulating activities including trampolining, soft play, swimming and trips to the local parks. He would like to visit and explore new venues with enclosed spaces like the Alan Shearer Centre or The Tim Lamb Centre to widen his experiences within the community.  He uses a specialist wheelchair when out in the community for his own safety. Routine and continuity are very important to Reggie as he can dysregulate if sudden changes occur. He cannot tell you directly what is wrong, but will communicate using minimal language or repeat language, hand gestures and leading to show and tell you his needs. Reggie can have meltdowns, so coping strategies to manage these must be demonstrated and implemented to ensure his safety. He is a strong child, so a good level of fitness is required to support him safely and being able to run at a fast pace would be required in case of flee attempts.

At home Reggie enjoys playing with his sensory toys or watching his favourite programmes which change every week depending on his interests or latest obsession. Reggie has a limited diet and will only eat certain foods, but mum would guide you on this and she manages all medications. Reggie will need assistance with dressing especially when out and will require prompts to wear his coat.

The main tasks within this role will include supporting Reggie to access the local community, accompanying and supporting him to engage in his chosen activities, and personal care including nappy changing.

We are preferably looking for a car driver with a full clean UK driving licence for this role, however, using public transport and an ability to navigate the transport systems would  benefit in teaching Reggie how to access and use public transport as part of his on-going development in social skills.

Personal Assistant – ABRNCL

Location: Lemington, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Hours: Up to 4 hours Saturday/Sunday

Rate of pay: £14.00 per hour

 

About me.

Hi!

My name is Alf, I’m 10 years old, and my Mam and Dad are looking for a special person to hang out with me and take me on fun adventures!

I love gaming (seriously—I could talk about it for hours!), swimming, walks, the beach, trampolining, and anything that keeps me busy and having fun. Sometimes I find it hard to stay focused on things I’m not into, but if you love gaming or just having a laugh, we’ll get along great!

I have Autism and ADHD, which means sometimes I can get stressed, impulsive, or shout when I’m feeling overwhelmed—but don’t worry, my family can help you learn how to help me calm down again. I also have a younger brother, Charlie, who has Autism and a learning disability too. We love each other but sometimes need space apart, which is where you come in!

What I’m looking for:

  • Someone kind, patient, and fun who loves to keep busy.
  • Someone who enjoys gaming!
  • Someone who can help me regulate when I’m stressed or upset (don’t worry, you’ll get advice and support from my grown-ups too).
  • Ideally someone with experience of Autism and ADHD.
  • A driver (preferred) who can take me to cool places like the park, beach, trampoline parks or even just for an ice cream.

The Role:

  • You’ll be my Personal Assistant—helping me have fun, explore new activities, and giving me some chill time away from home.
  • Hours are mostly weekends, around 4 hours, but we’re flexible and can chat about what works for you.
  • During school holidays, we might be able to plan even more fun adventures together.

If you’re caring, full of energy, love gaming, and want to make a real difference in a young lad’s life, then I’d love to meet you!
