Location: Young person’s family home
Contract: Part-time / Flexible Shift Work
We are looking for a caring, reliable and committed SEND Personal Assistant (PA) to support a young girl within her family home.
This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who has experience supporting children or young people with SEND and/or complex needs and, most importantly, has a genuine passion for making a positive difference in a young person’s life.

You do not need to commit to every shift. We are happy to consider candidates who can offer regular availability across some of the above days and hours.
The Role
As a SEND Personal Assistant, you will provide consistent, person-centred support within the young person’s home. Your role will focus on helping her feel safe, comfortable, engaged and supported while working closely with her family and wider support team.
Responsibilities May Include
- Providing 2:1 support within the family home
- Building a positive, trusting and consistent relationship
- Supporting engagement in enjoyable and meaningful activities

Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Complex Medical Needs & Infection Control
Our young person has complex medical needs, meaning infection prevention and control is an extremely important part of this role.

Successful Candidates Must Be Willing To
- Follow strict infection-control and hygiene procedures
- Use appropriate PPE when required
- Maintain excellent hand hygiene and cleanliness standards
- Be open and responsible regarding exposure to illness
- Inform the team immediately if they are unwell or have been exposed to infectious illness
- Understand that protecting the young person’s health and wellbeing must always come first
Full guidance around the young person’s individual needs and infection-control procedures will be provided.
Who We Are Looking For
Ideally, you will have:
- Previous experience supporting children or young people with SEND
- Experience with complex needs or medical needs would be beneficial
- A calm, patient and nurturing approach
- A genuine passion for supporting young people
- Excellent reliability and communication skills
- The ability to follow individual support plans and professional guidance
- A strong understanding of safeguarding
- A responsible attitude towards infection prevention and control
- The ability to build positive relationships while maintaining professional boundaries
