Social Personal Assistant 2:1 support - 2 vacancies

Hours: 10 hours per week term time including after school support and weekends

20 hours per week school holidays including weekends.

Area: Gosforth, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Rate: £14.00 per hour

Driver with full clean UK licence essential

We are currently recruiting for two experienced personal assistants for a lovely young boy with Non - Verbal Autism & ADHD. Leo is 8 years old and always requires full supervision. He currently resides with his mum and brother and attends a specialist school with support. Leo has no awareness of danger and will run at every opportunity. This role would suit individuals highly experienced in working with children with autism and ADHD. You must be able to demonstrate strategies and coping mechanisms for this role.

Leo enjoys a variety of sensory stimulating activities including spinning, swimming and trips to the local parks or SEND centres. He would like to visit and explore new venues with enclosed spaces to widen his experiences within the community. He uses a specialist wheelchair to access the community, which is fitted with a harness. Routine is very important to Leo as he can dysregulate if sudden changes occur, and due to his non-verbal autism, he cannot tell you directly what is wrong. Leo uses hand gestures and leading to show and tell you his needs. Leo can become dysregulated so coping strategies to manage these must be demonstrated and implemented to ensure his safety. Leo can self-harm if he becomes dysregulated and can lash out. He enjoys a trip to McDonalds and his favourite food is chicken nuggets. He also recently learnt to ride an adapted bike which he loves, so centres that have these facilities is always a great shout.

There are no dietary requirements, however, sugar-based food and drinks are prohibited due to the adverse effects sugar has on Leo’s behaviours.

The main tasks within this role will include supporting Leo in accessing the local community, accompanying and supporting him to engage in his chosen activities, and personal care is required for after toilet cleaning.

We require a car driver with a full clean UK Driving Licence and business insurance.

Scarlett is a delightful, bubbly, full of energy 5-year-old little girl. She has Autism, Global Developmental Delay, Learning Disabilities and Sensory Processing Disorder. Scarlett is non-verbal and communicates using gestures and leading methods, she can become dysregulated if her needs are not understood and met adequately and in a timely manner for her, this can be a slight response or it can escalate to more challenging behaviours including hurting herself, but this not a regular occurrence. Distraction methods are used to regulate which include food and drink and keeping her in a safe space.

Scarlett is looking for a dedicated, experienced SEN personal assistant who can accompany her to activities that she enjoys, including swimming, trips to the local parks, Tim Lamb Centre sessions and The Alan Shearer Centre. She really enjoys sensory stimulating environments and particularly enjoys being outdoors.

Full supervision is always required as Scarlett will run off if unsupervised and has no sense of danger.

When at home, Scarlett enjoys watching Peppa Pig and Ben & Holly and likes to be on her phone to access her programmes.

Routine and planning are key in preparing for any events to prevent dysregulation, and if she has an idea of what is going to be happening, she is keen to engage.

Personal care will be expected in this role including nappy changing.

Car driver is preferred but not essential as Scarlett really enjoys accessing public transport.

This is an employed role.

The Role

We are looking for a friendly, enthusiastic, and reliable Female Personal Assistant (PA) to support a young girl named Frankie. The role focuses on helping her safely access and enjoy her local community while promoting her independence.

About Frankie

Frankie is an almost 12-year-old girl with a bright, happy personality. She is very friendly, loves to stay active, and enjoys being outdoors. Her favourite activities include:

Playing in the garden
Visiting the park
Going for walks along the River Tyne
Swimming and trampolining
Colouring in (her absolute favourite!)

Frankie has Global Developmental Delay and experiences emotional and attachment challenges. She may become dysregulated, especially during school periods or in busy environments. She requires support in recognising when to take a break from overstimulating situations. Although she communicates well and follows instructions, she has no sense of danger, so safety awareness is crucial. Frankie can form attachments quickly and may be blunt in her communication, so a calm and professional PA is essential.

Location: Lemington, Newcastle Upon Tyne

Hours: Up to 4 hours Saturday/Sunday

Rate of pay: £14.00 per hour

About me.

Hi!

My name is Alf, I’m 10 years old, and my Mam and Dad are looking for a special person to hang out with me and take me on fun adventures!

I love gaming (seriously—I could talk about it for hours!), swimming, walks, the beach, trampolining, and anything that keeps me busy and having fun. Sometimes I find it hard to stay focused on things I’m not into, but if you love gaming or just having a laugh, we’ll get along great!

I have Autism and ADHD, which means sometimes I can get stressed, impulsive, or shout when I’m feeling overwhelmed—but don’t worry, my family can help you learn how to help me calm down again. I also have a younger brother, Charlie, who has Autism and a learning disability too. We love each other but sometimes need space apart, which is where you come in!

What I’m looking for:

Someone kind, patient, and fun who loves to keep busy.
Someone who enjoys gaming!
Someone who can help me regulate when I’m stressed or upset (don’t worry, you’ll get advice and support from my grown-ups too).
Ideally someone with experience of Autism and ADHD.
A driver (preferred) who can take me to cool places like the park, beach, trampoline parks or even just for an ice cream.

The Role:

You’ll be my Personal Assistant—helping me have fun, explore new activities, and giving me some chill time away from home.
Hours are mostly weekends, around 4 hours, but we’re flexible and can chat about what works for you.
During school holidays, we might be able to plan even more fun adventures together.

If you’re caring, full of energy, love gaming, and want to make a real difference in a young lad’s life, then I’d love to meet you!

Seeking a confident and adventurous Personal Care Assistant for a vibrant 36-year-old student teacher who’s anything but ordinary!

I am currently recruiting the final two full time Personal Assistants to complete my amazing care team. Are you the right person, to support me on my own, exciting journey to become a primary school teacher and live an active and meaningful life, despite of my complex health conditions?

I am a student teacher studying a part time PGCE (a prior Biology Graduate) with regular placements in local schools each week. You will be required to assist me physically - but not to be my voice… or my brain!

This position offers fun, the challenge of learning new skills, attending many adventures together and hopefully having lots of giggles along the way!

Your role will include cooking nutritious (allergy/intolerance friendly) meals daily, providing both complex medical and personal care, and enabling me to embrace an active social life (accompanying me to the cinema/live music concerts/theatre trips and nights out to bars in Newcastle).

You must be able to use your initiative and the training provided to work alongside me and my team, to assist me safely during your lone working shifts. Whilst also fitting seamlessly into my life and routines - both at home and whilst in school. This involves supporting me to live as independently as possible, in my own home- a bungalow in Cramlington, and being on hand in the sidelines, discretely whilst at school for if/when a medical/care need arises.

I'm looking to complete my team of 5 dedicated PA’s, to provide high quality, around the clock 24 hour, 1-1 support.

The shift patterns include a mixture (of 12 hour), day shifts and waking overnight shifts. This includes regular weekend shifts, with roughly one long weekend off/month (see example shift patterns below).

So, if you're a quick learner with boundless energy, have a bright and bubbly personality and can both use your own initiative and follow instructions and directions (& meet the following criteria) …. let's chat!

Driver: must safely drive my adapted automatic Mercedes Sprinter Van 🚐

Female, with previous physical care experience👩‍🦽

(Minimum 1year experience providing physical care)

Note: long/false nails, rings/watches & perfume/aftershave cannot be worn on shift due to my Asthma/allergies and fragile skin. This is a non-negotiable aspect of the job due to health needs.

I can’t wait to meet you! 🌟

Location: Newcastle upon Tyne

Hours of work: 5 hours per week.

Rate of pay: £12.21 per hour.

Job purpose:

To assist with a variety of tasks which will enable the young person who needs care and support to live their personal and social life according to their wishes and interests.

About the young person requiring support:

I’m looking for a Personal Assistant to support Baley, my 17-year-old son who is full of energy, laughter, and a love for life. Baley enjoys trampolining, swimming, visiting the park, and going to fun fairs and arcades. Baley has a fantastic sense of humour, loves joking around, and enjoys being a grown up. At home, Baley enjoys playing football and darts and spending time on the computer or watching YouTube.

Baley requires one-to-one support at all times due to a lack of road awareness and needs personal care assistance when using the toilet. Baley has hypermobility, prefers to walk but has a limp, and can tire when walking long distances. Communication is limited, and Baley uses Makaton to express his needs and wants. While Baley eats a normal diet, food needs to be cut up. Baley also loves walking our family dog, so it would be great if the PA enjoys this too.

The ideal PA will have experience working with disabled children and should have a happy, bubbly personality that matches Baley’s fun-loving nature. Most importantly, I’m looking for someone who can provide a safe, supportive, and engaging environment where Baley can continue to thrive.
