Full job description

We are looking for a calm, emotionally mature, funny and active young male mentor to support a bright, funny 13-year-old boy with and strong personality and high-functioning autism who is currently out of school.

This is not a traditional care role. It is somewhere between mentoring, positive male role modelling, social coaching and companionship. The right person will be able to build a close, trusting and professional relationship while helping a young person regain confidence, structure, motivation and connection during a difficult transition period.

Noah is highly articulate, technically capable, funny, insightful and emotionally warm. He loves gaming, technology, skateboarding, skiing, movies, and humour. He can also be emotionally reactive at times and benefits massively from calm, grounded adults who never escalate situations or become overly authoritative or judgemental.

The role will involve spending 3–4 days a week with Noah across a mixture of:

activities in the local community
skateboarding
going to the snow centre in Hemel Hempstead for Skiing/Snowboarding
basketball
airsoft in Essex (Mayhem airsoft)
boxing
gym sessions at Virgin Active
mentoring conversations
helping him develop interests and confidence
emotional regulation support
encouraging healthy routines and social confidence

The support will mainly take place around Crouch End, North London, between both parents’ homes which are close to one another.

The Kind Of Person We’re Looking For

You are probably:

Between 19–25 years old
Calm and unshakable under pressure and emotionally steady
Naturally funny with a good sense of humour
Into gaming, technology, AI, sports, fitness or outdoor activities
Able to connect with teenagers in a genuine way
Warm, grounded and non-judgemental
Comfortable setting boundaries in a calm and respectful way
The kind of person young people naturally trust and gravitate toward
Highly organised and reliable
Technically competent

You do not need to be a traditional “support worker type”, but you do need emotional intelligence, maturity and reliability.

Experience with autism, mentoring, youth work, coaching or younger siblings would be highly valuable.

Essential Requirements (please do not apply if you are missing one of these)

Full UK driving licence
Based in or near North London
Able to skateboard confidently
Able to Ski or Snowboard
Confident taking part in sports and physical activities
Able to commit for a minimum of 6 months
Comfortable supporting emotional regulation and social development
Strong communication skills
Strong sense of humour
Enhanced DBS check (or willingness to obtain one)

Highly Desirable

Understanding of high-functioning autism
Experience working with young people
Interest in gaming and technology
Skiing or snowboarding experience
Boxing, basketball or fitness background
Good cooking skills / healthy lifestyle habits
Ability to introduce Noah to new interests, hobbies and experiences
Comfortable helping a teenager navigate humour, boundaries and social appropriateness without shaming or policing personality

Main Responsibilities

Building a strong, stable mentoring relationship
Taking Noah skateboarding, boxing, basketball and to the gym
Supporting activities like airsoft and other social hobbies
Encouraging structure, confidence and motivation
Supporting emotional regulation during difficult moments
Helping Noah expand social confidence and meet peers
Introducing positive activities and group environments
Helping develop independence, resilience and healthy habits
Maintaining professional boundaries while still building trust and rapport
Communicating regularly with parents regarding wellbeing and progress

Important Notes About Noah

Noah is bright, funny, insightful and very quick-witted. He enjoys humour and can sometimes push boundaries socially in a very sharp, “says the thing everyone else is thinking” kind of way. The right mentor will not be overly sensitive or judgemental, but will instead help him understand social context, timing and appropriateness in a calm and respectful way.

He responds best to people who are:

authentic
emotionally regulated
confident without ego
able to laugh with him
consistent and reliable

This role could genuinely have a major positive impact on a young person’s life at a critical stage of development.

Reliability and emotional consistency are probably more important for Noah than qualifications alone. A calm, stable, emotionally intelligent young adult with good values and natural rapport may genuinely outperform someone with years of formal support experience but low warmth, rigidity or ego. The right person will understand that this role is about building trust, stability, confidence and healthy identity during a very important stage of Noah’s development.

Pay: £15.00 per hour

Benefits:

Casual dress
Discounted or free food
Employee mentoring programme
Flexitime
Gym membership
Store discount
