Summary

Location: Skipton, North Yorkshire

Hours: Monday, Tuesday, Friday and Sundays 4pm-7pm. Additional 8 hours to be worked flexibly through the week

Rate of Pay: £18.00 per hour

I am a parent of four children, two of whom are autistic. Our home is lively, busy, and full of activity, and I am looking for reliable and compassionate support to help our family thrive.

I have a rare autoimmune condition that limits my mobility and energy levels, so I need consistent, practical support around the home. My children are home educated, which works well for us and allows us to manage our needs together, but it also means I have little downtime and no nearby family support.

About the role:

This role is varied and hands-on, supporting both me and the smooth running of our home. Key tasks include:

General housework and tidying

Light cleaning and laundry

Meal preparation and cooking support

Basic home upkeep (e.g. helping to arrange small repairs or practical tasks)

Assisting with emails and simple admin when I am fatigued

Helping to maintain a safe, calm, and positive home environment

About you:

The right person will be kind, patient, and adaptable, with an understanding or willingness to learn about autism and chronic illness. You’ll need to be comfortable working in a busy household with children and able to balance being proactive with respecting our family’s rhythm and routines.

If you enjoy helping others, can bring a sense of calm and reliability to a busy home, and are happy to turn your hand to a range of everyday tasks, I’d love to hear from you.

This vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed.

At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
