About Me (Ibraheem)

I am 14 years old and reside with my mum and dad, I have 3 older sisters who have all left home, (I get spoilt more now 😊) but they visit quite regularly, and are on the phone to mum regularly.

I require structure and routine and individuals with clear boundaries and ability to reinforce instructions to keep me safe and regulated as I have no sense of danger. I am non-verbal so you must be willing to learn all my cues and quirks.

My passion is escalators and lifts, I could spend all day in and on them, I have a weekly routine where I go to the Metro Centre and Newcastle just to access all the different equipment, I love the weekends where I get to do this activity. I am looking for a PA who can accompany me to activities of my choice (it will be anywhere with a lift or escalator).

At home I enjoy watching Mickey Mouse Club house and scrolling on YouTube. Mum makes fantastic Asian cuisine, and I do enjoy her cooking, but my favourite thing to eat is Hoola Hoops and I only ever drink water, I do have to be supported with eating, and you may need to cut certain food up for me at times.

I also enjoy bus watching and can spend time watching the local buses near where I live. I would love to visit a transport museum to see all the various transport vehicles. Could you take me there please? Oh, by the way I am not too good in shops so best avoid these as I can become dysregulated, all of the lights and noises are awful.

I am a happy social young man, and we could have some good adventures if any of this sounds like your ideal job role.

If this sounds like a role you’d enjoy and you think we’d be a good fit, please apply.

He is small for his age, very active, and quick – making safety and vigilance top priorities.

Connor has SPD, has no sense of danger, and wears a wrist strap and incontinence pads when out. He is also sensitive to noise and can become dysregulated, which may result in aggressive behaviour. He communicates his discomfort with warning signs and needs space and support to self-regulate.

Assist with personal care, including pad changing.
Interact with Connor in a friendly, playful, and respectful manner.
Remain calm and responsive during episodes of distress or dysregulation.
Help manage and reduce triggers (especially noise-related).
Create a safe, structured, and positive environment for Connor to thrive.

Person Specification

Essential:

Calm, patient, and friendly disposition.
Physically fit and able to keep up with Connor’s pace and energy.
Quick-thinking and able to respond appropriately to challenging situations.
Attuned to signs of dysregulation and capable of de-escalating situations.

Desirable:

Experience or awareness of autism, ARFID, and SPD in children.
Previous experience working with neurodivergent children or young people.

Molly is a lovely, lively little girl who is looking for her own personal assistant to accompany and assist her to access the local community so she can experience and enjoy activities of her own choice. Molly has a diagnosis of Autism and Sensory Processing Disorder which can cause her to be self-injurious if she becomes dysregulated. She lives with her mum, dad and siblings and has a lovely dog called Roxie who she loves to help care for.

Molly likes to direct her own choices and does not respond well to direct instruction so we are looking for a PA with experience in these behaviours, who can constructively and positively achieve responses to instruction and guidance. Molly is non-verbal and communicates by lead and show or she will bring items to you. There will be some personal care in this role involving pull up pad changing when required.

Molly would like to visit the swimming pool, she is a great little swimmer, soft play and trampoline parks but on quiet sessions only. She really enjoys being outdoors too, so the park and nature trips would be an ideal alternative to indoor activities, she does enjoy the Alan Shearer centre too. She enjoys painting, climbing and food play and will often engage in music and dance routines.

Molly has no sense of danger so must be always supervised.

Molly uses an adapted stroller for outings and is happy to travel on public transport.

I’m looking for a Personal Assistant to support my daughter Erin who is 10 years old. Erin is a happy, smiley, lovely little girl who loves to dance and listen to music. Erin is a fan of Peppa Pig and loves looking at books and magazines.

I would like a PA to take Erin out to do some different activities. This will include going to the Tim Lamb and Alan Shearer centre. Erin may also try horse riding in the future as I think this will be something she’ll enjoy.

Erin has a condition called Phelan-McDermid syndrome, which is a rare genetic disorder that affects the development and function of the brain and body. Erin has little awareness of danger, so a Personal Assistant will need to be vigilant at all times. On occasion, Erin uses a wheelchair so you will need to be physically able to push this. You will initially spend time with me learning how best to communicate and support Erin as she is non-verbal.

A driver with clean licence is essential for this post.
