Scarlett is a delightful, bubbly, full of energy 5-year-old little girl. She has Autism, Global Developmental Delay, Learning Disabilities and Sensory Processing Disorder. Scarlett is non-verbal and communicates using gestures and leading methods. She can become dysregulated if her needs are not understood and met adequately and in a timely manner, which can lead to challenging behaviours including hurting herself, though this is not a regular occurrence. Distraction methods are used to regulate her, including food and drink and keeping her in a safe space.
Scarlett is looking for a dedicated, experienced SEN personal assistant who can accompany her to activities that she enjoys, including swimming, trips to the local parks, Tim Lamb Centre sessions and The Alan Shearer Centre. She particularly enjoys sensory stimulating environments and being outdoors. Full supervision is always required as Scarlett will run off if unsupervised and has no sense of danger.
When at home, Scarlett enjoys watching Peppa Pig and Ben & Holly and likes to be on her phone to access her programmes. Routine and planning are key in preparing for any events to prevent dysregulation, and if she has an idea of what is going to happen, she is keen to engage. Personal care will be expected in this role, including nappy changing. A car driver is preferred but not essential as Scarlett enjoys accessing public transport.
This is an employed role. There is a genuine occupational requirement for the holder of this post to be female in accordance with the Health and Social Care Act 2008 (Regulated Activities) Regulations 2014 and Equality Act 2010 schedule 9 paragraphs 1 – 4. This vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed. At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
