Samia
Part-Time Family Support Assistant – Woodley, Reading
About Me
We are a friendly family in Woodley (Reading) looking for a reliable Family Support Assistant to help with after-school routines for our two children (ages 9 and 12), while also providing companionship and practical support for elderly family members living with us.
My Requirements
Hours: 1pm–6pm Monday–Friday (approx. 25 hours per week)
Pay: £15–£18 per hour depending on experience
Start: ASAP
Duties include school pick-ups, homework support, driving to activities, dog walking, light household coordination, and support for elderly parents (appointments, conversation, research, games such as cards or chess, and basic IT help).
Experience working with children, particularly in a school, childcare or SEN support setting, is highly desirable. Experience in supporting neurodivergent children (ADHD/autism) is a strong advantage.
Full UK driving licence required (own car preferred). DBS check and references required.
During school holidays, the role may focus more on elderly companionship, dog care and household support. Occasional family travel may be possible.
We would ideally like someone within a reasonable commuting distance of Woodley who could occasionally assist at short notice if required.
To apply: please send a full CV, confirmation of driving licence and right to work in the UK.
Shortlisted candidates will be invited for face-to-face interviews.
