Personal Assistant for 7 year old girl in Saham Toney, IP25 £15.00 per hour 3.5 hpw

We are looking for a kind, patient and enthusiastic person to support our wonderful 7-year-old autistic and non-verbal daughter. She has a fantastic personality, loves exploring the world in her own way and thrives with people who are calm, patient, fun and happy to build trust at her pace.

 

Initially, the role will involve supporting Mum during outings and activities rather than providing one-to-one childcare. We're looking for someone who can become another trusted adult in her life. Hours are flexible, primarily weekdays during the school holidays, with occasional weekends and evenings.

·         Parks and nature walks

·         Sensory activities

·         Banham Zoo and other local attractions

·         Soft play

·         Trampoline time

·         Community outings

·         Family days out

·         Sitting together to "scribe"—drawing and writing the things that capture Madeline's imagination from her favourite books and iPad.

 

·         Kind, patient and reliable.

·         Calm and positive.

·         Happy to build a long-term relationship.

·         Passionate about supporting children with additional needs.

·         Loves adventures and the outdoors

·         Ideally holds a full clean driving licence and has access to a car insured for work purposes.

 

Experience as a Teaching Assistant or within a SEND setting would be highly desirable, although the right personality is just as important. If you want to help one incredible little girl experience more of the world, we’d love to hear from you.
