Female Personal Assistant-Great Eccleston area
We are looking for a caring, patient and enthusiastic Personal Assistant to
support a 16 year old female with Down syndrome and autistic tendencies to access the community, develop confidence and enjoy a range of leisure and social activities.
The client is a lively and engaging young person who currently needs some encouragement and support to get out and about, as she has recently become more reluctant to access the community. The successful PA will help her build confidence and encourage her to participate in activities that she enjoys, while also introducing her to new experiences.
The successful PA will ideally be someone who can suggest new activities and opportunities and encourage the client to engage at her own pace.
The client has a limited vocabulary and does not verbalise particularly well, so the PA will need to have excellent communication skills, patience and the ability to understand and respond to her individual needs and ways of communicating.
The young person has a lively personality and can be very active, so the successful applicant will need to be energetic, active and confident with a lively personality. A good sense of humour will also be important.
There is minimal personal care involved. This may include occasional support or prompting with things such as ensuring clothing is appropriately adjusted after toileting.
This is a rewarding opportunity for the right person to make a positive difference to a young person's life, supporting her to become more confident, active and engaged in her local community while enjoying herself along the way.
A driver with a full clean driving licence is essential for accessing different activities and locations.
An Enhanced DBS is essential for this role (paid for by employer).
This is a part time position for 4 hours per week during term time 8 hours per week non-term time with an hourly rate of £12.71 plus 5.6 weeks paid annual leave and workplace pension scheme.
