Hours: Monday 2 hours evening, 2 hours Friday evening, 2 hours Sunday evening 

Rate of Pay £18.00 per hour 

 

I am a parent of four children, two of whom are autistic. Our home is lively, busy, and full of activity, and I am looking for reliable and compassionate support to help our family thrive. 

I have a rare autoimmune condition that limits my mobility and energy levels, so I need consistent, practical support around the home. My children are home educated, which works well for us and allows us to manage our needs together, but it also means I have little downtime and no nearby family support. 

 

About the role:
This role is varied and hands-on, supporting both me and the smooth running of our home. Key tasks include: 

• General housework and tidying 

• Light cleaning and laundry 

• Meal preparation and cooking support 

• Basic home upkeep (e.g. helping to arrange small repairs or practical tasks) 

• Assisting with emails and simple admin when I am fatigued 

• Helping to maintain a safe, calm, and positive home environment 

 

About you:
The right person will be kind, patient, and adaptable, with an understanding or willingness to learn about autism and chronic illness. You’ll need to be comfortable working in a busy household with children and able to balance being proactive with respecting our family’s rhythm and routines. 

If you enjoy helping others, can bring a sense of calm and reliability to a busy home, and are happy to turn your hand to a range of everyday tasks, I’d love to hear from you.
