Summary

Occupational Requirement: Female only (Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9).

Hours: Up to 4 hours per week (weekends).

Contract: Permanent.

PVG Membership required or willingness to apply.

We’re looking for a kind, reliable, and patient personal assistant to support a cheerful 6-year-old boy at weekends. He’s non-verbal but expressive, and he enjoys music, animals, art, and outdoor play.

Duties & Responsibilities:

• Provide personal care (eczema cream, assistance in buggy)

• Keep the child safe (supervise closely due to risk of running off or going with strangers)

• Support with emergency oral medication for allergies

• Offer comfort and reassurance (hugs when distressed)

• Engage in outdoor and sensory activities

• Maintain a clean vehicle environment (due to allergies)

The family prefers a non-smoker.

You should have a good sense of humour, be vigilant, and have a caring, flexible approach. Ideally, you can coordinate hours with a second assistant supporting the child’s brother.
