Personal Assistant for Awake Night 15 Night Per Year £170.94 Per Night (7pm to 9am) - Norwich - NR14
Job Reference (0f34e31b)
I’m a mum looking for a kind, reliable personal assistant (PA) to support my ten-year-old young son for 1 to 2 overnights awake per month (7pm to 9am). The role is paid at £170.94 per awake night. My son is a bright, funny and caring young boy with autism and ADHD. I’m looking for someone who can support him during occasional overnight stays in our home.
You’ll help him get ready for bed, give him his medication and settle him to sleep. He can be unsettled at night, and there may be times he wakes in the night and needs a little reassurance to get back to sleep.
He can be a bit shy with new people, but once he’s comfortable, he’s very chatty and loves talking about Minecraft, Roblox, maths, geography, and his two beloved guinea pigs — so you’ll need to be happy around small animals too!
