Summary
Personal Assistant Wanted for a Brilliant 7-Year-Old Explorer!
Location: Denton Burn, Newcastle Upon Tyne
Hours: 7 hours (term time), 14 hours (non-term time) – flexible with the family
Pay: £14.50 per hour
Driver Essential
Are you kind, calm, and up for a bit of fun? Do you enjoy trampolining, swimming, and the occasional quiet adventure? We’re looking for a fantastic Personal Assistant to support a happy, high-energy 7-year-old boy who loves the great outdoors – but not noisy crowds!
Our son is full of life and laughter, and once he builds trust, he’s a loyal and joyful little companion. He has autism and sensory processing needs, so he's not a fan of busy or loud places – but he thrives in quiet, predictable environments and LOVES his favourite routines (especially a visit to the Tim Lamb Centre, a bounce at the trampoline park, or a swim).
Over time, and with your help and our support, we’d love to gently explore new activities together, always at his pace.
What You’ll Be Doing:
Supporting communication using PECS and social stories
Encouraging and joining in with his favourite activities
Keeping him safe and feeling secure while out and about
Building a trusting, meaningful relationship with him – and us
What We’re Looking For:
A driver (essential – you'll need to get to and from activities)
Someone with experience supporting children with autism
A patient, kind person who can keep things calm, clear and predictable
Someone who values consistency and is committed to building trust
Why This Role is Special:
You’ll be making a real difference to a young boy’s world, helping him grow his confidence, explore safely, and have fun being himself. We’ll be with you every step of the way as you get to know him – and we’ll celebrate every milestone together.
A DBS check and references are required.
Informal chats welcome before applying!
For more information, please see the Job Description
This vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed.
At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
