Driver With Own Vehicle Essential
We are looking for a friendly, reliable and active Personal Assistant to support a 12-year-old boy.
He enjoys screen time, being outdoors, trampolining in the garden, swimming, bike rides and spending time with animals. He also has two dogs at home, so an animal lover is essential.
About The Role
The role will include collecting him from school, taking him home, preparing a light meal, walking the dogs and spending time with him in the garden. This may include playing outside, using the trampoline and helping him enjoy activities in a safe and supportive way.
During the school holidays, support will involve getting out into the community and enjoying fun activities such as visiting Pets Corner, going on bike rides, swimming, spending time outdoors and other activities he enjoys.
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.

About You
We are looking for someone who is kind, patient, fun and reliable. You should enjoy being active, spending time outdoors and supporting a young person to access activities he enjoys. You must be comfortable around dogs and enjoy animals.
