The Vacancy

Our client is looking for two personal assistants to support their daughter in a 2:1 capacity. The daughter requires support accessing the community, personal care, and PEG feeding. She has epilepsy, severe asthma, Level 3 autism, is non-verbal but can communicate using an aid book, and uses a wheelchair in the community.

Applicants should be safety-oriented, patient, energetic, bubbly and fun. The role may be physically demanding at times, so applicants should consider this. Experience with seizures is essential.

The daughter is affectionate, cheerful and often quite laid back, though she sometimes needs more entertainment and interaction. She enjoys going to the park, being outdoors, playing with bubbles, music, singing and watching cars go by. She can hurt herself when overwhelmed, so it is important that candidates are mindful that overstimulation may also lead to seizures. The family has two dogs.

The role is 6 hours per week during term time and 9 hours per week during school holidays, paid at £12.66 per hour. The hours are to be worked on Saturdays and a weekday evening – to be negotiated with the successful applicants. The role is based in Crowle.

Due to the nature of the role an enhanced DBS will need to be completed, which we will fund.
