Vacancy Details

I am a 14 year old girl who is non-verbal and I communicate via an assisted augmentative device (AAC). I enjoy sensory input and playing on my trampoline and swing. I am looking for a PA to support me at home. This would include helping me with washing, dressing, toileting and medication. I have good mobility and do not require any support with this.

I like cheeky and fun people that don’t mind being a bit mischievous, but I also need people who can be firm with me when needed, as if I feel frustrated or upset I can be a little challenging.    

• Supporting me in my home environment.  
• Playing with me in my home environment.
• Helping me develop my social skills.
• Support when experiencing challenging behaviour.
• Support with personal care, toileting and medication.

A person who:

• Has experience of working with children with challenging behavior.
• Is chatty.
• Has a calm nature.
• Is flexible and reliable.
• Preferably has meds training, although training can be provided.

12 hours a week to be used as 6pm to Midnight on a Tuesday and 6pm to Midnight on a Saturday.

The post is to start in the first week of June.
