Join Team Leo!
Be part of the adventure — support a super fun 7-year-old!

Are you ready for a job full of laughter, climbing, bouncing, mess, and mischief? Meet Leo — he’s 7, autistic, full of energy, and always on the move!

Leo is happiest when he’s:

Bouncing on the trampoline
Climbing at soft play
Zooming around the park
Getting messy with slime, mud, water and… well, anything squishy!

Leo’s family is looking for two fun-loving, hands-on Personal Assistants to support him with 2:1 care, mainly to help him get out into the community, explore the world and have lots of fun. You’ll need to keep up with him – he’s fast, cheeky, and always curious!

About Leo:

• Non-verbal but very interactive – he’ll lead you to what he wants (usually snacks!)
• Cheeky, adventurous, playful
• Loves toys (sometimes he throws them – just for fun!)
• Sensory seeker – enjoys bouncing, smearing, splashing, and even making a bit of mess
• Needs support with toileting, hygiene and being safe when out and about

Ideally, one of you will drive (Leo has a Blue Badge and a buggy) – it opens up more fun places to go, and helps manage his love for unexpected getaways (aka eloping!).

We’re looking for people who are:

• Energetic, playful and up for an adventure
• Calm, patient, and understanding of autism and sensory needs
• Reliable, responsible, and can help with personal care
• Willing to get messy (and laugh about it!)

This is a unique chance to make a difference in a little boy’s life while having a genuinely fun and rewarding role. Training and support will be provided – what matters most is the right attitude and energy!

Sound like your kind of job?
Get in touch and come meet Leo – your new favourite trampoline buddy.

Personal Assistant for 9-Year-Old Explorer!

Location: York (YO31)

Hours One night a week (after school) 3:15-6:15 and then roughly one full day per week in the holidays (maybe more).

Hourly Rate: £14.00 per hour

 

My name is Walter and I’m 9 years old.

I love being outside, running, playing Minecraft, I love building LEGO, I also like studying water (hydrology) and one day would like to design a hydrological car and taking things apart to see how they work (sometimes demolishing them too!). I’m super curious and really love it when people share their knowledge with me — especially if it’s about how things are made or how the world works.

You’ll find me so much fun to be around — I’m energetic, full of ideas, and always ready for an adventure. I do often need to follow my own direction and sometimes struggle with doing things other people’s way. So, I need someone who can go with the flow, be calm and understanding, and support me without trying to change who I am.

We’re looking for a kind, caring, and most importantly patient Personal Assistant (PA) to support me in doing what I love — exploring, learning, and having fun in safe and meaningful ways.

Could this be you?
You might enjoy:

• Going on mini outdoor adventures
• Talking about how things work
• Building Minecraft creations
• Helping me stay safe while giving me space to explore

Experience with neurodivergence is a bonus but being open-minded and gentle is even better.

This isn’t just a job — it’s a chance to make a real difference in a young person’s life by encouraging curiosity, fun, and independence.

If you think you’d be a great fit for me, we’d love to hear from you!
