Job Reference (f6d64dc4)
Are you kind, patient, and looking for a role where you can truly change a child’s world? 💙
We are looking for a compassionate and reliable Personal Assistant to support a bright and unique 7-year-old boy with Autism, PICA, and a Learning Disability. This is a temporary role to cover a current PA absence, with the potential to become permanent for the right person.
This is a genuinely rewarding opportunity to build trust, offer reassurance, and support a child who experiences the world in his own way.
What you’ll be doing
- Providing gentle and respectful personal care
- Supporting with meals and drinks 🍽️
- Helping him feel safe and understood at home 🏡
- Engaging in simple social and leisure activities
He is nonverbal and does not yet understand Makaton, so patience, empathy, and a calm approach are essential. At times, he may feel overwhelmed, and you will play an important role in helping him regulate his emotions through positive and sensitive support.
What we’re looking for
- A naturally patient and understanding person 🌼
- Someone who can stay calm and respond positively in challenging situations
- A caring and reliable individual who wants to make a difference
- Experience with additional needs is helpful but not essential attitude matters most
Why this role is special
This is more than a job. It is an opportunity to make a real and lasting difference in a child’s life. Every small step forward is a big achievement 🌈
If you are warm, dependable, and ready to make a difference, we would love to hear from you 💫
