We are seeking a warm, grounded live-in learning assistant and mentor to join our family home. More than standard support, this role offers a positive, guiding presence for two teenage boys (12 and 15) during key morning and afternoon routines.

Relatable Mentor & "Big Sibling": Guided by robust values, bringing a dependable "big brother/sister" energy that connects with teenagers through humour, empathy, and open dialogue rather than lectures.

Engaged, Active & Family-Focused: Ready to jump into sports, board games, and schoolwork, with a genuine desire to be an active, valued member of the household rather than just an employee.

Key Responsibilities

Assist with morning preparations, including breakfast setup and school lunch preparation.

Participate directly in home activities, games, and outdoor recreation.

Schedule & Time Commitment

Term Time Schedule: Your core hours are focused around the morning (pre-school) and afternoon/evening (after-school) routines.
