About the boy you will be supporting:
The boy is 6 years old, non-verbal, and uses an AAC device to communicate basic needs and wants. He is incredibly intelligent, often surprising those around him with his abilities.

✅ Background working with children with challenging behaviours
✅ Team players—two applicants who will work collaboratively
✅ A fun, patient, and understanding attitude
A driving licence is preferred, but not essential
Activities the boy loves:
- Swimming
- Bowling
- Trampolining
- The park
- Splash parks
- Soft play
- Days out to the beach
- Arcades
Your role would be to make his holidays fun, safe, and memorable.
