We’re seeking a warm, upbeat PA to support our 8-year-old daughter, Skyla. She is autistic, has ADHD and PDA, so experience with these would be helpful. Skyla is friendly, bubbly and loves being out and about, choosing activities herself.
You’ll Support Skyla With
- Fun community outings (swimming, soft play, cinema, walks, horse-related activities, museums, colouring, baking)
- Providing respite for parents
- Light support such as preparing snacks and drinks
- Encouraging independence — no personal care, but checking she’s dried properly after swimming
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We’re Looking For Someone Who
- Is energetic, positive, and child-focused
- Enjoys being active and planning fun days out
- Has experience with autism/ADHD/PDA (desirable)
- Has a valid DBS check (we can arrange this)
This role is much more “take Skyla out and have fun” than staying indoors — perfect for someone who loves engaging, playful support.
