personal hotspot from iPhone not showing in Wi-fi list

I have an iPad Pro and IPhone XS Max. My iPhone personal hotspot will not show in the list, although it will show when i open the personal hotspot settings on the iPhone. There is nothing wrong with the phone as it shows the personal hotspot from my work iPhone 6s and vice versa.

I have reset network settings and rebooted to no effect. I am not keen to sign in and out of iCloud as my broadband is slow and i think I would have to download all my photos again? My iCloud account is fine as phone calls show on my iPad for example.

What I want is the iPhone personal hotspot to show automatically in the list of available connections without me having to pick up my iPhone and open the settings app.

Any ideas gratefully received.

iPad Pro, iOS 12
