Rate of pay £15 per hour.
Looking for a reliable, active and easy-going person to spend time with a 12-year-old boy, helping him get out and enjoy activities like tennis, golf and other sports.
This role is all about being a positive, consistent presence — someone he can relate to, have fun with, and build confidence around activities. He can be quiet at times, but when he feels comfortable and enjoys something he is fun to be with and very enthusiastic. He has some additional support needs and thrives with a patient, steady person who follows his lead and keeps things low-pressure.
What the role involves:
– Picking him up and heading out to activities (tennis, golf, etc.)
– Playing sports together and keeping things relaxed and enjoyable
– Encouraging participation without pressure or formal coaching
– Being a consistent, friendly presence
Who this would suit:
– S5 or S6 student (16+) or university student
– Someone sporty or active who enjoys tennis/golf/outdoor activities
– Friendly, patient and naturally good with young people
– Reliable and able to commit to regular hours each week during term time and ideally able to do extra in the summer.
Important:
– PVG membership required (or willingness to join – costs covered)
– Driving licence preferred (not essential depending on location)
Hours & pay:
– Typically 3–8 hours per week, flexible to fit around you. Looking for consistent weekly support but times can vary week to week or stay regular — whatever works
– More hours available over the summer if you want them
Rate of pay is £15 per hour.
This is a great opportunity for someone looking for flexible work that’s genuinely enjoyable and makes a real difference.
