 Introduction

A caring, patient and committed personal assistant is required to support our 12 year old daughter who is Autistic with a PDA (pathological demand avoidance) profile. This is primarily to help her to develop confidence and skills to step out into the world and develop her interests in her own time.

We are a neuro divergent family and we celebrate Autistic identity and do not see this as a disadvantage but more a challenge due to living in a neuro typical world, it is for this reason that support is needed.

Her current special interests are make-up art and fashion design.  She is initially shy but once you get to know her she will make you laugh lots. She loves clothes and fashion and loves the family dog Tilly and the cat Milly. She loves listening to music.

Support will initially involve working with the family to build a relationship and eventually lead to lone working. A flexible approach is a must as PDA is anxiety based and can lead to arrangements changing at the last minute due to her demand avoidance and anxiety.  It is extremely important that the key worker is able to develop a PDA informed approach, please see the following link for information on PDA https://www.pdasociety.org.uk/

A caring, patient and committed personal assistant is required to support our energetic 10 year old daughter with socialisation activities. She has Pathological Demand Avoidance which results in her avoiding anything that is perceived as a demand.  Sometimes this can result in anxiety about leaving the house but other times, she will be happy to engage in an activity outside of the home. 

 The purpose of this role is to help our daughter with her social care needs both in the community and at home. This includes assistance with managing her emotional anxiety. She enjoys activities such as playing games, cooking, going on the trampoline, walking on the beach, cold water dips, watching TV and doing arts and crafts.

 Our daughter can take time to warm up and feel comfortable with new people, so she needs someone who is patient, understanding and willing to get to know her. Support will initially involve working with the family to build a relationship and eventually lead to lone working. A flexible approach is a must as PDA is anxiety based. We are flexible over the days and times to be worked. Driver not essential.
