The Role:
• We are looking for a confident, active and compassionate enabler to support our 9-year-old son, A.D., who has apraxia, which makes spoken communication difficult, and some sensory processing needs. He responds best to people who really take the time to understand him and are positive, kind, and enthusiastic. A.D. is full of energy and has a deep need for regular physical activity such as climbing, skateboarding, and movement-based play.

This is a lone-working position designed to give the family some much-needed respite. You will be working with A.D. 1:1 in the community and occasionally at home. A.D. requires consistent reassurance, gentle transitions, and someone who can remain calm and confident during challenging moments and help him find a way through when things feel overwhelming.


Main Duties:
• Taking A.D. to physical activities such as climbing walls, skateparks, and outdoor play areas

Helping A.D. safely transition from car to activity and back again

Helping A.D. navigate any tricky moments with calmness and flexibility

Occasional cooking or baking activities at home

Encouraging positive interaction and emotional wellbeing through play

Providing safe, confident supervision in public settings





Personal Qualities and Attributes required:
• Experienced in supporting children or young people with autism and additional needs

Physically active and comfortable supervising in busy or stimulating environments

Calm under pressure and confident during emotional or behavioural dysregulation

Naturally positive, patient, and relationship-driven

Able to take initiative and adapt activities in the moment

Car owner with valid UK driving licence and business insurance

Reliable, punctual, and committed to consistency

Comfortable with lone working
Must like Dogs and Cats

Able to build a good rapport with A.D. siblings

Please note that this role may be subject to a DBS check, your employer may also ask for you to supply references.
You must be able to prove the right to work in the UK. No sponsorships are available.

Hours: 8 hours per week, ideally split across 2 x 3-hour sessions and 1 x 2-hour session
Flexibility on days/times to be discussed
Pay: £13.57 per hour
Job Type: Part time
