Pay: £12.21 per hour

Start Date: ASAP

Car driver with own vehicle essential

 

About the Role:

You will be supporting Jasmine to access daily activities that she enjoys which encourage social interaction, independence, and confidence. It is important that you approach the role with an adaptable and flexible mindset, willing to continuously learn about Jasmine’s world and help her to feel nurtured and accepted.

Duties include:

• Providing 1:1 support during play and outings
• Helping with routines and transitions
• Encouraging and supporting communication and emotional regulation
• Providing a safe, structured & positive environment
• Collaborating with me to meet specific developmental goals

 

About Jasmine:

Jasmine is a bright, curious, and kind-hearted little girl who sees the world as a playground of endless possibilities. Her imagination is limitless, and she’s always on the lookout for new ways to explore, learn, and create! Jasmine’s kindness is beautiful and her curiosity about the world is inspiring. She is always eager to learn, grow, and connect with the people and places around her.

Jasmine can struggle with big feelings, transitions, overwhelm and demands. These struggles can present as sensory overload and in these times needs help to down regulate. Jasmine uses aids such as a balance board, weighted blanket, ear defenders, cuddles, reassuring words, massage & touch and chewellery. She can have a strong feeling of rejection sensitivity so reassurance and lots of warmth is needed. Jasmine responds very well to routines and kind boundaries and we use visual aids such as interactive timetables and now and next boards. This helps Jasmine to make sense of the day.

Jasmine’s world Includes:

Creative Play & Crafting – Jasmine loves to get lost in play and all things craft. Her imagination has no bounds. She can create beautiful worlds and pieces of art from any resources within her vicinity. She loves to share these passions with the people around her and loves to bring people into these worlds. Whilst her disability can restrict her experiences of emotional regulations, she can also be incredibly emotionally insightful and plays these insights out in her imaginary play. She has an array of teddies, each one with a unique personality and story. These provide much comfort for Jasmine when needed, not least Blunkie and Tygie, a leopard and a tiger who she would love you meet!

Dancing & Music – Music and movement are strong interests of Jasmine’s and she will engage in these activities with lots of enthusiasm. She likes to create songs with her ukelele guitar and will quite often put on “shows” for the people around her. Movement helps Jasmine to down regulate and this is often part of her character and is the way she expresses her joyful spirit!

Nature – Jasmine loves nature. Every stone, tree, and leaf sparks her curiosity and fuels her love for the world around her. She has a specialist interest in “treasures” that she will find and has an amazing eye for detail. She loves little bugs and creatures and will quite often make “homes” for them.

Storytelling & Adventures – Jasmine’s stories are wonderful! She weaves tales full of wonder, bringing her incredible imagination to life. There’s no limit to where her creations can take her! She loves to involve people in her stories collaboratively and always finds ways to include story making in her daily life.

About Jameel

Jameel is a bright, fun-loving 15-year-old with autism and learning disabilities. He communicates using single words and short sentences and responds best to people who are calm, patient, and understanding.

Jameel enjoys going out and about, especially visiting the park, going on the swings, and spending time outdoors. He sometimes finds loud shouting or crying distressing, so he benefits from a PA who can calmly support him and help create a reassuring environment.

Spending time out in the community helps him to cope, stay active, and enjoy positive experiences. Outings also support his independence and preparation for adulthood.

 

About the Role

We are looking for a kind, reliable, and patient Personal Assistant to support Jameel on weekends and during school holidays.
Your role will include:

• Accompanying Jameel on trips to the park or other community activities
• Encouraging independence, confidence, and social skills
• Supporting travel by bus or walking when appropriate
• Communicating clearly and calmly, and responding to Jameel’s needs with empathy
• Providing reassurance and structure to help him enjoy outings safely

About You

You’ll be:

• Calm, patient, and caring
• Reliable and consistent
• Able to communicate clearly and adapt to Jameel’s preferred ways of interacting
• Comfortable supporting a young person with autism and learning disabilities
• Sensitive to Jameel’s experiences and the family’s needs

Experience of supporting autistic young people is desirable, but a genuine understanding and willingness to learn are just as important.
