About the Role

We are looking for a compassionate and proactive Personal Assistant (PA) to support Connor, a lively and energetic 12-year-old boy, to access and enjoy his local community safely.

Connor is autistic and non-verbal, with a joyful and adventurous personality. He loves beach walks, shopping for toys and teddies, water play, using his iPad, and playing with a football or ball, throwing or bouncing it 1:1. He is small for his age, very active, and quick – making safety and vigilance top priorities.

Connor has SPD, has no sense of danger, and wears a wrist strap and incontinence pads when out. He is also sensitive to noise and can become dysregulated, which may result in aggressive behaviour. He communicates his discomfort with warning signs and needs space and support to self-regulate.

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys making a difference in a young person’s life and has the energy, patience, and awareness to provide meaningful support in a calm, respectful, and engaging way.

Support Connor to access the community in a safe and enjoyable way.
Ensure constant awareness of potential hazards and risks when out and about.
Assist with personal care, including pad changing.
Interact with Connor in a friendly, playful, and respectful manner.
Remain calm and responsive during episodes of distress or dysregulation.
Help manage and reduce triggers (especially noise-related).
Create a safe, structured, and positive environment for Connor to thrive.

Person Specification

Essential:

Calm, patient, and friendly disposition.
Physically fit and able to keep up with Connor’s pace and energy.
Quick-thinking and able to respond appropriately to challenging situations.
Attuned to signs of dysregulation and capable of de-escalating situations.
Comfortable providing personal care.
Respectful of non-verbal communication and personal boundaries.

Desirable:

Experience or awareness of autism, ARFID, and SPD in children.
Previous experience working with neurodivergent children or young people.
Driver with access to a vehicle.

Additional Information

Training can be provided for the right person with the right attitude and approach. This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference in Connor’s daily experiences, building trust and helping him enjoy the world safely.

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.

Full UK driving licence essential

I’m looking for a Personal Assistant to support my daughter Erin who is 10 years old. Erin is a happy, smiley, lovely little girl who loves to dance and listen to music. Erin is a fan of Peppa Pig and loves looking at books and magazines.

I would like a PA to take Erin out to do some different activities. This will include going to the Tim Lamb and Alan Shearer centre. Erin may also try horse riding in the future as I think this will be something she’ll enjoy.

Erin has a condition called Phelan-McDermid syndrome, which is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development and function of the brain and body. Erin has little awareness of danger, so a Personal Assistant will need to be vigilant at all times. On occasion, Erin uses a wheelchair so you will need to be physically able to push this. You will initially spend time with me learning how best to communicate and support Erin as she is non-verbal.

A driver with clean licence is essential for this post.

There is a genuine occupational requirement for the holder of this post to be male/female in accordance with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 and Equality Act 2010.
