We are a family of six with a household we try to keep quiet, calm and well regulated. We have four children, our eldest (19, M) has ASD and our youngest (8, M) has Autism, ADHD and PDA. This role specifically involves supporting our two middle children: our 12-year-old daughter who has ASD and learning difficulties and our 10-year-old son who has AuDHD and learning difficulties. We are a home of animal lovers with five cats, so a PA who is comfortable around pets is essential!

The successful candidate will be directly responsible to us as parents. We expect a high standard of professional conduct, characterised by patience, reliability and absolute discretion.

Job title: Female* Support Worker

Location: Newmarket, Suffolk

Closing Date: 06/11/2026

Job Ref: SILREF 5343

 ----------------------------------

I’m a very happy, calm and bubbly 13-year-old girl with a brilliant character who has Pica and a severe learning disability. I love visiting zoos, soft play, trampolining, going for walks and to new places. Although I can get scared, I love to do new things and see new environments. As this can make me feel overwhelmed, you will need to take me aside to a quiet space so I’m able to re-regulate. I’m non-verbal and, though I do know some verbal words, I communicate using a Proloquo2Go. As I have no danger awareness, road safety is vital, and you will need to keep me under constant supervision. This is especially important as, due to having Pica, I will eat non-food items.
