We are looking for a kind, reliable and confident Personal Assistant to support a bright and loving 17-year-old young person with additional needs. The role will begin at the end of August or early September and includes regular hours during both school term time and holidays.

Ideally, the PA would be available on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Thursdays from 4:30pm to 6:30pm, with some flexibility for additional hours during school breaks. Support will take place both at home and out in the community.

The young person you’ll be supporting has a rare genetic condition that includes autism, a learning disability, visual impairment, epilepsy, and microcephaly. She has a great sense of humour, loves to chat, and enjoys music and spending time outdoors. She thrives with a companion who is friendly and warm, but also able to maintain clear and consistent boundaries.

The role may involve preparing simple meals, going out on trips to the park, shops or a local café, and encouraging independence through daily life skills. Support with personal care routines such as showering and getting ready for bed will also be part of the role.

We are ideally looking for someone with experience in supporting children or young people with additional needs/vulnerable people. Someone who is patient, understanding, and perhaps has children of their own or a background in care or education would be well-suited to this position.

If you are interested in making a genuine difference and becoming a valued part of a young person’s life, please apply.

Duties include:
- Personal grooming
- Other relevant duties as required
- Cooking
- Transportation
- Companionship

Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
- Experience with children with additional needs or vulnerable people

Please note, if you are successful in your application for this position, you will be either engaged directly or employed by the individual employer and not by Independent Lives. The role may be offered on an employed or self-employed basis, depending on the suitability and agreement with the employer. If the role is employed, you will be entitled to holiday pay and issued an employment contract.
