Personal Assistant - Stranraer

Personal Assistant- Stranraer DWJL300

Hello me and my brother 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. I am a 5-year-old who really enjoy going out on my 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 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

• 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.
