Autism Care Assistant for a teenage girl P/T @ £13.05/hr in Morpeth - FTE - £25.4k
A second personal assistant is required to support a young lady in enabling her to access her local community for 5 hours per week, taking place over the weekend. With a diagnosis of a Learning Disability, Autism, ADHD, and global developmental delay, this late teenage woman can present with some challenging and sometimes inappropriate behaviour.
The successful applicant will work alongside another personal assistant to support the client. You should have patience, tolerance, and a strong sense of self in guiding this teenager to enjoy activities while making good choices when accessing the community. A driving license and your own vehicle insured for business use are essential to this role, in order to transport your colleague and the client when accessing places of interest outside of the home.
This young girl has a fantastic sense of humour, is caring, loves art, gardening, English Heritage sites particularly Belsay Hall, castles, and adventure playgrounds, so you will need to be physically fit and enjoy the outdoors. If you would like to embrace all that this role has to offer and have some relevant experience, please do get in touch; we would be happy to hear from you.
Together we can make a difference to this young lady and her family.
