We are looking for support for our very energetic and gregarious 8 year old son.

He loves people and talking, and is very interested in what everyone is doing and why!

He enjoys food, gardening, transport and loves a bargain at the charity shop.

Your role would be to support him to go out to participate in activities and develop his independence.

We have a (very friendly) labradoodle so ideally you would be a dog lover.

We are looking for after school support generally but also some support in the school holidays and ad hoc at weekends would be great.

Main role is to meet our son at our home in Balcombe when he is dropped of by his taxi driver at 4:00pm and then stay with him until one of us is home from work at 6:00pm, either spending time with him at our home, or taking him out for entertainment (we can discuss the kinds of activities he enjoys). After a day at school he is sometime keen to have some time at home, playing with his toys, doing craft activities or looking at books. There is a playground near our home that he enjoys visiting if it’s dry.
