Location: York
Hours:

Roughly 3 hours per week (daytimes, afternoons, evenings – flexible!)
Support needed at weekends during term time, and anytime during school holidays
Pay: £12.60 per hour

Join Team Leo!
Be part of the adventure — support a super fun 7-year-old!
Are you ready for a job full of laughter, climbing, bouncing, mess, and mischief? Meet Leo — he’s 7, autistic, full of energy, and always on the move!
Leo is happiest when he’s:
Bouncing on the trampoline
Climbing at soft play
Zooming around the park
Getting messy with slime, mud, water and… well, anything squishy!
Leo’s family is looking for two fun-loving, hands-on Personal Assistants to support him with 2:1 care, mainly to help him get out into the community, explore the world and have lots of fun. You’ll need to keep up with him – he’s fast, cheeky, and always curious!
About Leo:
Non-verbal but very interactive – he’ll lead you to what he wants (usually snacks!)
Cheeky, adventurous, playful
Loves toys (sometimes he throws them – just for fun!)
Sensory seeker – enjoys bouncing, smearing, splashing, and even making a bit of mess
Needs support with toileting, hygiene and being safe when out and about
Ideally, one of you will drive (Leo has a Blue Badge and a buggy) – it opens up more fun places to go, and helps manage his love for unexpected getaways (aka eloping!).
We’re looking for people who are:
Energetic, playful and up for an adventure
Calm, patient, and understanding of autism and sensory needs
Reliable, responsible, and can help with personal care
Willing to get messy (and laugh about it!)
This is a unique chance to make a difference in a little boy’s life while having a genuinely fun and rewarding role. Training and support will be provided – what matters most is the right attitude and energy!
