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:
-
Going on car journeys to discover new places
-
Playing in the park and having adventures
-
Enjoying games and activities at home
What’s Required:
As my Personal Assistant, you’ll:
-
Support me to be safe, active, and engaged in everyday life.
-
Help me enjoy my favourite activities and explore new ones.
-
Build a trusting, consistent relationship with me and my family.
-
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:
-
Kind, caring, and understanding
-
Reliable and consistent
-
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
- 9 hours per week
-
Ideally spread over 1–2 days
-
Days and times are open for discussion—flexibility is key.
The rate of pay is £13.45 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 DWJB100 when applying.
