Carer needed for my 10 year old son who is autistic and lives in Chichester. He is very active, sociable and a lot of fun. He loves skateparks, trampoline parks, soft play, fun fairs such as Harbour Park, Selsey and Hayling Island.

We are looking for someone who can join him on days out. You must have experience with children with special needs as he also can present challenging behaviour in some situations.

This is a very rewarding role with the opportunity to visit some great places with an amazing boy and we would love to hear from you.

A Drivers Licence is preferable but not essential as my son has a bus pass
