About the Employer

Our son is high energy and loves to play. Do you like playing 'Tig', triking, scooting, trampolining, running, den building etc? Then this could be the weekend job for you! His special interest is trains, so often play is train themed. He's very sociable, imaginative and fun to be around. He likes to lead the play. He has complex SEND including anxiety and difficulties with peer interactions; because of this we envisage a PA playing with him at home for a good while as a relationship is built. Maybe in the future it would lead to accessing appropriate activities in public eg. a park playground visit. We're looking for a calm, patient, child-led, child-centred person who can bring energy and a sense of humour to their work. If this sounds like you, please apply.
