Personal Assistant - Stranraer

Personal Assistant- Stranraer  

Hi, we are two boys who live in Stranraer with my amazing mum. We are full of energy, and joy and we are looking for a kind, caring, and understanding personal assistant to help me explore the world to give my mum some well-deserved rest. This is a rewarding role for someone who loves to work with children and making a real difference to family life. 

I'm a 6-year-old that has been diagnosed with Autism. That means I experience the world a little differently, and I need someone who can meet me where I am—with patience, empathy, and a sense of fun! I need someone to understand my communication needs as I sometimes become frustrated if I am not being understood. My brother is 5 years old who really enjoy going out on his scooter and going to the park.  

 

What we enjoy 

• Swimming  

• Going on adventures on our Scooters  

• Playing with cars and tractors  

 

 

Job Role  

As our personal assistant, you'll  

• Required to support two boys to give mum support or time for respite. 

• Support us to be safe, active, and engaged in everyday life. 

• Help us enjoy my favourite activities and explore new ones. 

• Build a trusting, consistent relationship with us and my family. 

• Be flexible, and work in a person- and family-centred way. 

• Take us on outings or swimming with mum. 

 

Who we are looking for: 

You don’t need to be an expert—just someone who is: 

• Kind, caring, and understanding 

• Reliable and consistent 

• Open to learning and adapting 

• Good communication skills  

• Good sense of humour  

• Patient 

Experience supporting children with additional needs is a bonus, but not essential. What matters most is your heart and your willingness to connect. 

 

Hours 

• 2 hours per week  

• Days and times are open to discussion 

• Weekend work may be required   

 

The rate of pay is £13.45 per hour with paid annual leave of 5.6 weeks pro rata. A suitable PVG is required.
