I’m currently looking for a kind, patient, and reliable Personal Assistant (PA) to support my 14-year-old son, who is autistic. The role is primarily to provide me with some respite for 3 hours each Saturday.
The support would involve spending quality time with him, either by taking him out to local parks, for walks or scooter rides, or doing fun activities like bowling or swimming — he especially loves Mario Kart and other interactive games. Depending on the day, the support may also involve staying with him at home while I take some time out.
He’s a lovely young person with a great sense of humour and specific interests, and he thrives with people who are calm, consistent, and engaging.
There will also be the potential for additional hours during school holidays, depending on availability and how things go.
If you think you’d be a good fit or would like to know more, I’d love to hear from you.
