Personal Assistant Required in Newton Stewart

Hello I’m a soon-to-be 9-year-old boy living in Newton Stewart with my amazing mum and sister. I’m full of energy, and joy—and I’m looking for a kind, caring, and understanding personal assistant to help me explore the world to give my mum some well-deserved rest.

I’ve been diagnosed with Autism, an intellectual disability, and ADHD. 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!

Thing’s I enjoy:

Going on car journeys to discover new places

Playing in the park and having adventures

Enjoying games and activities at home

What’s Required:

As my Personal Assistant, you’ll:

Support me to be safe, active, and engaged in everyday life.

Help me enjoy my favourite activities and explore new ones.

Build a trusting, consistent relationship with me and my family.

Be flexible, and work in a person- and family-centred way.

Who I am 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

Experience supporting children with additional needs is a bonus, but not essential. What matters most is your heart and your willingness to connect.

Hours

9 hours per week

Ideally spread over 1–2 days

Days and times are open for discussion—flexibility is key.

The rate of pay is £13.45 per hour with paid annual leave of 5.6 weeks pro rata. A suitable PVG is required.

Please note that Capability Scotland are not the employer, but acting on behalf of our client, who is the legal employer.

If you’re interested, then I would like to hear from you. Please use reference DWJB100 when applying.
