Are you someone who loves the sea breeze, rollercoasters, and making a difference in a young person’s life?

We’re looking for a kind, caring and flexible Personal Assistant to support our wonderful daughter Emilia – a beach-loving, water-splashing, thrill-seeking girl who enjoys days out at the coast, theme parks, and discovering new places.

This is a fantastic role for someone who enjoys being out and about, while also being reliable, patient, and focused on safety and fun!

 

About the Role:

You’ll support Emilia in accessing a range of fun and stimulating activities both at home and out in the community. Whether it’s building sandcastles, splashing in the waves, or buckling up for a ride at the theme park – your job is to help her have a great time while keeping her safe.

You’ll also:

  • Prepare simple snacks and support with eating.
  • Play, chat, and engage with Emilia in a fun and meaningful way.
  • Accompany the family on outings.
  • Adapt your support to suit Emilia’s needs with kindness and flexibility.

 

What We’re Looking For:

We’d love someone who is:

  • Experienced in supporting disabled children or adults.
  • Positive, respectful and has a can-do attitude.
  • Able to take direction and work independently.
  • A driver with a clean licence – essential for those beach days and trips!
  • Reliable, trustworthy, and patient.
  • Flexible and able to work at short notice if needed.
  • Able to work the 5 hours per week (Half Term)
  • Long term employment and commitment.

You don’t need formal qualifications – just a willingness to learn, a kind heart, and a commitment to confidentiality and family values.
