About me.

Hi!

My name is Alf, I’m 10 years old, and my Mam and Dad are looking for a special person to hang out with me and take me on fun adventures!

I love gaming (seriously—I could talk about it for hours!), swimming, walks, the beach, trampolining, and anything that keeps me busy and having fun. Sometimes I find it hard to stay focused on things I’m not into, but if you love gaming or just having a laugh, we’ll get along great!

I have Autism and ADHD, which means sometimes I can get stressed, impulsive, or shout when I’m feeling overwhelmed—but don’t worry, my family can help you learn how to help me calm down again. I also have a younger brother, Charlie, who has Autism and a learning disability too. We love each other but sometimes need space apart, which is where you come in!

What I’m looking for:

  • Someone kind, patient, and fun who loves to keep busy.
  • Someone who enjoys gaming!
  • Someone who can help me regulate when I’m stressed or upset (don’t worry, you’ll get advice and support from my grown-ups too).
  • Ideally someone with experience of Autism and ADHD.
  • A driver (preferred) who can take me to cool places like the park, beach, trampoline parks or even just for an ice cream.

The Role:

  • You’ll be my Personal Assistant—helping me have fun, explore new activities, and giving me some chill time away from home.
  • Hours are mostly weekends, around 4 hours, but we’re flexible and can chat about what works for you.
  • During school holidays, we might be able to plan even more fun adventures together.

If you’re caring, full of energy, love gaming, and want to make a real difference in a young lad’s life, then I’d love to meet you!

About the Role:

Hello, my name is Emma, and I’m looking for a kind, friendly, and reliable Personal Assistant to support my 9-year-old son, Luke, in living a fun and fulfilling life. This role involves helping Luke access the local community and supporting his personal and social care needs in a respectful and compassionate manner.

 

Meet Luke:

Luke is a happy, laid-back young man who loves being around people and being part of the conversation, even though he is non-verbal. He finds joy in the outdoors, especially when the wind blows in his face, and enjoys visiting National Trust properties, going to the coast, or simply enjoying car journeys and watching the world go by.

Luke has a rare genetic syndrome and uses a wheelchair for mobility. He is unable to weight-bear and requires a hoist for transfers. He travels in an adapted vehicle and receives nutrition via a gastrostomy tube. Luke also has a colostomy bag, uses incontinence underwear, and experiences visual and hearing impairments.
