Job Description
Summary
Are you someone caring, patient who can still maintain boundaries?
Do you like working with children and have experience of Autism?
I am mum to a very loving 9-year-old girl, who loves music, animals and being outdoors. She loves little figures and objects, anything small she can fit in her hands and line up!
I am looking for a kind PA who can take her out to and participate in fun activities such as swimming, horse riding and there will be days when you join in with family trips out so that I have an extra pair of hands to ensure both my girls have adult attention. There might be occasions where support will happen in our home; this might include indoor creative activities and helping me with bath times.
My daughter is high on the Autistic spectrum and has some verbal communication. You will need to be someone adaptable, reading and responding to her needs as she can present some challenging behaviour. Once she’s made a connection with you, she will give you lots of love and so many smiles. Her infections laugh will brighten your day.
Initially a flexible approach will be required to establish what support will be best for her.
