We’re a busy, lively household with three children – 11-year-old twins and a 14-year-old – and we’re looking for a bubbly, caring and reliable Personal Assistant to provide occasional babysitting and after-school support for our son, who uses a wheelchair and has ADHD, autism and focal epilepsy.

No personal care is required, but we’re looking for someone who is calm, patient and confident supporting a child with additional needs and anxiety. Our son experiences absence seizures, so being reassuring and able to follow guidance on how to respond is important.

Our other two children will usually be around but tend to do their own thing, although they’re familiar with their brother’s seizures and can offer support if needed.

Life in our house can be chaotic, so a good sense of humour, a positive attitude and a flexible approach are essential! If you love children, have a kind and understanding nature, and are a dog lover too, we’d love to hear from you.

If you’re looking for a rewarding role where you can make a real difference to family life, we’d love to welcome you to our team!
