Full Job Description
My loving, energetic, water obsessed 7 year old son is looking for a PA to go swimming with at the weekends and school holidays.
We are flexible with timings and days but a Saturday morning would be ideal.
My son is on the autistic spectrum and has limited communication skills but can respond to simple questions and demands. I had a baby 6 months ago and I am in need of some respite opportunities.
The role will involve taking my son out for 4 or 5 hours at the weekend so that he can enjoy some fun activities. This could be swimming (which is his favourite) or soft play/parks as long as it is not too busy.
My son also loves to play on the beach and has a fondness for animals so visiting a farm is also a good option.
Duties include:
- Personal grooming
- Eating and drinking assistance
- Transportation
- Companionship
- Dressing / undressing
- Bathroom assistance
- Changing nappies/help with toileting
Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
