AH WN EL, Personal Assistants (PA) required
Rate of pay is £10.50 per hour.
An exciting opportunity has arisen for one or two PA to work with and support a young person with autism who lives with her family in North Berwick.
The role will be wide and varied, details of which are outlined in the job description.
Above all else it will be important that the successful candidate(s) establishes a good rapport with the young person and their family. Experience of working with young people with autism is desirable but not essential. A willingness to learn techniques that work well for individuals with autism is key. It is however essential that the post-holder has a general interest in music. The postholder could be required to drive the young person’s motability car so a clean full driving license would be useful but not essential.
There are 25 hours per week to either be shared by two PA or given to one PA. Hours will be flexible and will be negotiated with the successful candidate(s). please state in your application the minimum and maximum hours you would be willing to take. Applications from people looking for part time work welcome.
If you think you can make a difference to this young person’s life then please either send in your CV or submit a completed application form as soon as possible.
Please note that the job will be offered subject to satisfactory references.
If sending in your CV, please email to pajobs@lothiancil.org.uk and quote reference AH WN EL.
