Personal Assistants to support 10-year-old son 02 hrs per week @ £12.89 per hrs in NR30
I am looking for a kind and reliable Personal Assistant to support my 10-year-old son for 2 hours per week (after school or weekends – flexible). The role involves spending time together, such as going to the park, walks, simple activities, and ensuring his safety while out.
About My Son
My son is autistic and non-verbal, so patience, calmness and a caring approach are important. Full guidance and support will be given. He feels most comfortable with clear routines, visual support and familiar adults. He enjoys music, movement, books and spending time outdoors. As he has limited awareness of danger, he needs close supervision at all times. This role would suit someone who enjoys working with children and is looking for a small, regular commitment.
