Looking for a kind and patient PA to look after two kids (8 and 10) in their home after school during the week (3:30 - 6:30) and full days during the school holidays (can be flexible about the dates). This can be a job share with another PA if you preferred. I have a demanding but somewhat flexible job so I can usually work around your exam periods.
Salary £13/hour but happy to negotiate for someone with experience. You will be declared, and get holiday pay.
We are an LGBTQIA friendly house. My kids use they/them pronouns and need a PA who respects that.
We currently have a great PA who is moving. I am looking to hire 1-3 new PAs to cover afterschool hours, six hours on a weekend, and occasional evenings. Previously this job has been well-suited to postgraduates, people looking for occasional work hours.
The kids come home from school via SEN transport - so you do not need to collect them. We have two cats as well. The house is big and has enough space for both kids to play independently. They both need a lot of space and downtime after-school. So they will just want someone to hang out with them and make them snacks and dinner!
Generally the role is to keep the kids safe physically and to feel safe emotionally. You’ll need to be patient, kind, and listen to what the kids need. Experience with autism is required (and with a PDA profile recommended).
You will need to watch out for the arrival of the SEN transport minibus which pulls up outside. One kid's bus just beeps and you go out, the other bus has a PA who brings the kids to the door.
After school the kids are usually tired and drained. Ideally, you would get them a snack, play with them or help them settle into calm routines if they have had a challenging day at school. Then play with them, take them to the park across the street or play in our back garden if they want to go out. Sometimes school is so draining they just need to play on their computer (10 year old) or do some arts and crafts (12 year old). They watch a lot of TV and that is absolutely fine.
Later would make them dinner - it’s usually very plain things - pasta with grated cheese, tacos or whatever is feeling safe at the moment.
You would help keep the kitchen and playroom tidy (and maybe their bedrooms if you have been doing crafts in there) but non-child related cleaning isn’t part of the role.
A driver's licence would be ideal but it isn’t required.
