Part-Time PA / Support Worker for 10-Year-Old Boy

Jack is a happy, chilled-out 10-year-old with a big smile and a real love of being out and about. He has dyskinetic cerebral palsy and epilepsy, uses a wheelchair full time, and is non-verbal. He's currently working hard to learn how to communicate through eye gaze technology. His favourite things are swings, swimming, and going fast on his adapted trike. He lights up around people who are warm, playful, and properly engaged with him. We're looking for someone reliable, enthusiastic, and genuinely interested in being part of Jack's world. This isn't a sit-and-supervise role. Jack thrives when he's active, stimulated, and treated as the sweet, active kid he is, so we want someone who'll bring energy and ideas to his days.
