About Jamie
Jamie is a fun, lively, and energetic 7-year-old boy with a diagnosis of Autism and learning disabilities. He is looking for a Personal Assistant who can match his energy and enthusiasm and support him to enjoy the things he loves.
Jamie has some verbal communication and a wide range of interests, including:
Computer gaming
Soft play and parks
Climbing and trampolining
Playing with toy cars
Singing (he’s a fantastic singer!)
Jamie enjoys structured activities with a clear purpose and thrives when he knows what’s happening and what to expect.
About Jamie’s Needs
Jamie is a sensitive child who can become dysregulated or upset in unfamiliar situations or when routines change. He needs someone who is willing to:
Take time to build trust and get to know him well
Anticipate triggers and support him to avoid distress
Provide calm reassurance, comfort, and redirection when needed
Jamie also:
Has limited awareness of danger, requiring close supervision at all times
Is partially toilet trained, but needs prompting and may require support with personal care
Wears pull-ups when out in the community
The Role
We are looking for a patient, energetic, and understanding Personal Assistant to support Jamie to safely access activities and enjoy his interests.
Duties will include:
Supporting Jamie with structured play and community activities
Providing consistent supervision to ensure his safety
Helping Jamie manage transitions and routines
Offering emotional support and reassurance when he becomes overwhelmed
Supporting with toileting and personal care as required
About You
We are looking for someone who is:
Energetic and able to keep up with an active child
Kind, patient, and emotionally aware
Understanding of Autism (or willing to learn)
Able to provide structure and consistency
Vigilant and safety-conscious
Experience is helpful but not essential—the right attitude and approach are key.
A driving licence is a bonus, but not essential.
Additional Information
Successful applicants will be required to complete an enhanced DBS check, the cost of which will be met by the employer.
This vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed.
At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
