Personal/Support assistant GCIL DS-LJ-1.26/11hours Location G53

Be part of the adventure! Personal Assistant Role (G53 area)

I am a loving, happy young boy who enjoys being active and getting out and about. I have lots of energy and love to keep busy throughout the day.

I have a cheeky sense of humour, and I enjoy interacting with people in my own way. I love being outdoors, as well as relaxing with my phone or going to the cinema.

What makes me smile:

·      Keeping busy and staying active

·      Trips to the park and beach

·      Swimming and water play

·      Exploring new places safely

·      Building dens and spending time outdoors

·      Being around someone who understands me

·      Attending my other services

About the role:

This is a fun and rewarding role, supporting me to enjoy my activities safely.

·      Hours: 11 hours per week (Saturday and Sunday plus after school to be agreed with my other PA) and will be discussed at interview.

·      £13.60 per hour

·      Flexibility required; depending on activities and support needs.

You will work alongside an experienced PA, with full support from my family.

What we’ll do together:

No two days are the same! Activities might include:

·      Parks, beaches and long walks

·      Visits to the soft play and swimming

·      Outdoor adventures and exploring

·      Visiting places like the zoo and trying new activities

·      I prefer quieter environments, as busy places can feel overwhelming for me. 

Support required:

·      Support to always stay safe

·      I can be very active and may run; I need you to be able to keep up with me

·      Calm support during times where I’m feeling frustrated

·      Support with communication (I am non-verbal and communicate in my own way)

About you:

I am looking for someone who is:

·      Energetic and enjoys being active

·      Patient, calm and understanding

·      Reliable and punctual

·      Willing to build a relationship (this can take time)

·      Experience in autism and ADHD would be helpful but not essential

·      A driver is an essential requirement, with access to own car.
