Personal Assistants wanted for a 9-year-old boy who has severe ADHD and autism with a profile of PDA. He goes to a specialist SEMH school and lives with his family. He loves all things trains and playing train games on his Xbox. He needs help staying regulated and loves having 1:1 attention from his PAs. He loves going to school but struggles with the transition from bed to school.




Brief details of the job

The child needs additional help getting ready and to go to school so that his parents can look after their other children. The job will involve getting him out of bed and ready for school, getting him into the taxi and travelling with him to school. He will require help with all personal care, including getting dressed, changing his nappy, cleaning his teeth and eating breakfast. The job will start at our house and finish at school in Fulford, York where he is dropped off.

The candidate must have experience of children who are autistic and have ADHD and the behavioural challenges that this presents. They must also be aware of PDA and how to interact with PDA children in order to reduce dysregulation. They must be confident handling dysregulation and meltdowns. Although challenging, the work will be rewarding and will massively help both the child and the family.
