Posted on behalf of a Parents/Customer:

We are looking for a caring and reliable Personal Assistant to support a 7-year-old girl in Carlisle who has autism, global developmental delay, is non-verbal, and is suspected to have PICA. She communicates using hand gestures, objects of reference, and hand leading. She is an active and adventurous child who loves being outdoors, swimming, trampolining, and running in wide open spaces.

The role involves providing support to help her access and enjoy community activities while ensuring her safety and wellbeing. Duties will include personal care, light feeding support and monitoring due to the risk of ingesting non-edible objects, communication support, and occasional emotional and behavioural support. 

We are looking for someone patient, attentive, and enthusiastic who can build a positive relationship with her, encourage her independence, and help her participate in the activities she enjoys.
