This is an external vacancy and is not employment with East Riding of Yorkshire Council.
A highly energetic, good humoured and intelligent 8 year old boy is looking for a Personal Assistant for 3 hours per week.
This young person has lots of interests including gaming (special interest), Lego, sharks, space (black holes), films/cinema and enjoys physical/sensory activities e.g. swings, the park, climbing, jumping, soft-play and swimming. He also loves to walk and play with the family dog and is very caring towards animals. He is always 'on the go' and there is never a dull moment!
The family is looking for an enthusiastic and dedicated individual who is interested in learning all about their child’s special interests. They hope for somebody to help build their child’s confidence whilst accessing the community and being a key person for him whilst accessing activities that fit his interests.
The young person is in receipt of an Education Other Than at School (EOTAS) package and employed hours can be used flexibly in agreement between the successful applicant and the family.
This role would be well suited to an enthusiastic person with a good understanding of neurodiversity, particularly demand avoidance.
The candidate must be a car owner and a full driving licence is essential.
DBS/Reference checks will be required for this post – the cost to be met by the local authority.
