We're after a warm, switched-on person to spend an evening or two a week with a teen who's Au DHD, into cosplay, talking tennis (the game and the stars), Minecraft, music, and building genuinely excellent outfits from op shop finds.
This isn't a typical gig.
Some days it's a walk and a proper chat.
Some days it's sitting quietly nearby while things feel too much.
Some days it's gently working out how to make eating feel okay.
You'll need to read the room fast, drop any agenda that isn't working, and never make them feel cornered into doing things your way.
- What Matters Most
- Rainbow community friendly is a must, not a nice-to-have
- The EQ to adjust your language and your plan on the fly
- Bonus if you understand autism, ADHD, or PDA (we can help fill gaps if you're keen to learn)
- Full licence and your own vehicle strongly preferred, buses are rare out this way
