Weekly Hours: 8 – 10 hours per week
Working Pattern: Afternoons only. Specific days vary week‑to‑week but will be fixed and agreed one year in advance.
Role
We are looking for a personal care assistant for our client who is a 17-year-old male who would like some support getting out and about to enable his continued independence and engage in his community.
Our client is a young autistic man with mental health related difficulties. Your support will enable the client to access his community safely, build confidence, and engage in meaningful activities. This support is crucial, as the client would love to be more involved in his community but finds this difficult without the right support. Your role is to help him safely navigate the world, build social confidence, and engage in the activities he loves—including football, animals, cycling, and the outdoors. Because he often "masks" his difficulties, he needs a proactive PA who can provide close supervision and gentle motivation.
Key Responsibilities
Community Engagement: Accompany the client to the gym, walking, cycling, and potential volunteering sites.
Communication Support: Use clear, non-verbal, or simplified communication (he speaks more than he understands).
Safety & Wellbeing: Provide constant 1:1 supervision and help manage emotional regulation/anxiety in social settings.
Social Modeling: Help him interpret social cues and encourage kind, positive interactions.
Who We Are Looking For
Personal Qualities: You are reliable, punctual, and emotionally attuned. You understand that consistency is vital for reducing distress.
Communication: You can adapt your style to suit low verbal comprehension and have a great sense of humour.
Active Nature: You are comfortable being outdoors in all weather and are physically able to participate in fitness activities.
Requirements
Essential: PVG membership (or willingness to join), comfortable with animals, available for afternoon shifts.
Desirable: Experience with Autism/ADHD, mental health support, or trauma-informed practice. A driving licence and access to a car is a plus.
To apply for this post please submit a copy of your CV quoting the job reference number above by email recruitment@sdsoptionsfife.org.uk or by post to SDS Options (Fife), DPHS Fife, Caledonia House, Pentland Park, Saltire Centre, Glenrothes, Fife, KY6 2AQ
