My Requirements

We’re looking for a fun, friendly young person to spend time with our 12-year-old son Kai a few evenings a week, ideally around 4:30–7:30pm.

Kai is non-verbal and has cerebral palsy. He can’t move around independently or use his hands, but he is extremely intelligent, very engaged, and loves spending time with young people.

He enjoys computer games, art, cooking, baking, planning things, watching things together and having all sorts of discussions.

This is much more of a buddy/companion role than a traditional care role. No previous disability or care experience is needed — personality, patience, reliability and genuinely enjoying spending time with Kai are much more important.

Kai’s care needs are fairly minimal. He may need some help with feeding and occasional help around the house with personal care/toilet needs, and we can show you everything you need to know.

We’re ideally looking for someone around 18–30 who is fun, confident, keen to get involved and can build a genuine friendship with him.

Regular weekday evening hours available.
