About Me

We are Zaid and Nour, a family based in Leeds, seeking a Personal Assistant to support our 11-year-old son, Aboud, as part of a Leeds City Council support package.

Aboud is a gentle and easy-going boy on the autism spectrum. He is non-verbal but communicates effectively in his own way. He enjoys active play, outdoor activities, and benefits from a structured, calm, and consistent approach. He is toilet trained, with occasional prompting required, and thrives in a supportive and engaging environment.

We are looking for a reliable, patient, and organised individual who is either experienced in, or has a genuine interest in, working with children with additional needs. The role will involve supporting Aboud in day-to-day activities, encouraging engagement, and maintaining a safe and positive routine.

Key details:

* Pay: £18 per hour (depending on experience and responsibilities)
* Hours:
* 4 hours per week during term time
*12 hours per week during school holidays
* Flexible working pattern
* Location: Leeds
* Requirements:
* Enhanced DBS check (essential)
* Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle (essential)

There is also the potential, if mutually agreed, for the role to be formalised through Leeds City Council, with salary paid via the council’s Personal Assistant scheme.

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference in a child’s life within a supportive and appreciative family environment.

If you feel you would be a good fit for this role, we would be delighted to hear from you.

Please contact us for further information.

Thank you.
