Personal Assistant Required in Newton Stewart
Hello I’m a soon-to-be 9-year-old boy living in Newton Stewart with my amazing mum and sister. I’m full of energy, and joy—and I’m looking for a kind, caring, and understanding personal assistant to help me explore the world to give my mum some well-deserved rest.
I’ve been diagnosed with Autism, an intellectual disability, and ADHD. That means I experience the world a little differently, and I need someone who can meet me where I am—with patience, empathy, and a sense of fun!
Thing’s I enjoy:
1. Going on car journeys to discover new places
2. Playing in the park and having adventures
3. Enjoying games and activities at home
What’s Required:
As my Personal Assistant, you’ll:
4. Support me to be safe, active, and engaged in everyday life.
5. Help me enjoy my favourite activities and explore new ones.
6. Build a trusting, consistent relationship with me and my family.
7. Be flexible, and work in a person- and family-centred way.
Who I am looking for:
You don’t need to be an expert—just someone who is:
8. Kind, caring, and understanding
9. Reliable and consistent
10. Open to learning and adapting
Experience supporting children with additional needs is a bonus, but not essential. What matters most is your heart and your willingness to connect.
Hours
11. 9 hours per week
12. Ideally spread over 1–2 days
13. Days and times are open for discussion—flexibility is key.
The rate of pay is £12.60 per hour with paid annual leave of 5.6 weeks pro rata. A suitable PVG is required.
If you’re interested, then I would like to hear from you. Please use reference SCJBwhen applying.
