Seeking Personal Assistant for 7.5-Year-Old Autistic Boy (6 Hours/Week)

We are looking for a caring and reliable Personal Assistant to support a happy, 7.5-year-old autistic boy in engaging with community activities and fun outings. He has limited speech due to a language development disorder and requires support with communication, using short (3–4 word) phrases and processing time when addressed.

He has reduced peripheral vision in his left eye, which affects his depth and distance perception, and requires close supervision due to a lack of awareness of danger and a tendency to elope or zone out. Hand-holding or monitoring is essential when walking, unless in a pushchair.

The role involves 6 hours per week, focused on safe, enjoyable community engagement.
