We are looking for a reliable and patient Personal Assistant to support a 13-year-old girl to safely access community and leisure activities.
The child has complex developmental needs including autism, learning disability, chromosome depletion, hypermobility, dyspraxia and dyslexia, and functions at a developmental age of approximately 3–4 years.
She has no sense of danger or stranger awareness and requires constant supervision when out in the community. Although she is aware of road safety, she does not apply this to herself. If distressed or hurt, she may attempt to run away.

The PA will need to:
Support safe access to community and leisure activities
Manage challenging behaviour calmly and safely
Learn and respond to the child’s triggers and support needs
Maintain clear boundaries and routines
