Two caring and supportive personal assistants are required for a happy, lively and energetic 9-year-old girl living in the Liskeard area. She has autism and would like two PAs who she can build up a positive relationship with and provide her with 2:1 support. This would include some personal care on occasion.
She would like someone to support her with her communication and social skills out in the community.
Her interests are swimming, trampolining and visiting play parks.
Your support will enable her to explore the local area, enjoy more social opportunities, and establish an engaging routine, particularly during weekends and school holidays.
This is a rewarding opportunity to help a young person grow and achieve greater independence while making a positive impact on their life.
The role is part-time, with support required mostly at the weekends. Additional hours will be available during school holidays. 5 hours per week are available during term-time, while 8 hours are available during school holidays. This arrangement is very flexible.
The hourly rate is £12.60 (subject to negotiation), plus mileage expenses.
Experience or knowledge of working with young people with SEND is essential.
A driving licence and access to your own vehicle, having business use insurance, is also preferable.
The successful applicant will be employed under a private arrangement with the family, and not be employed or carry out work for Cornwall Council.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All offers of employment will be subject to the successful candidate undertaking an enhanced DBS check, the administration process will be undertaken by Cornwall Council.
If you would like to apply for this role, please send your CV. Alternatively, you can request an application form.
Your CV or application form will be passed onto the family for their consideration. Due to the high number of applicants that are received for various roles, it is not possible to inform applicants if they have been unsuccessful.
