About The Role

Learning Support Assistant for Me – Giorgio (Twickenham TW2)
£20 per hour | Part-Time | Driver Essential | Start ASAP

Hi! I’m Giorgio. I’m 18, full of energy, and I’m looking for a Learning Support Assistant whose kind, patient, and enthusiastic to help me learn, grow, and explore the world around me.

A Bit About Me

I’m really into aviation – I love watching planes take off and land, and I’m always snapping photos of them. I also enjoy cycling on my adapted bike, especially in the park, and I’m always up for discovering new places. I have Cerebral Palsy, which means I sometimes need a bit of help with balance and movement. My speech can be a little tricky to understand at first, but I’ve got a great therapy team helping me, and with time, you’ll get to know me well.  

What I’m Looking For

I want someone who’s genuinely interested in helping me access a fun and meaningful education.  I really enjoy things like:

  • Parkour
  • Aviation
  • Science and Italian GCSE
  • Photography
  • Engineering
  • Music production
  • Cookery

You’ll support me during lessons, help me stay focused, and encourage me to be independent. At the end of each session, we’ll chat about what I’ve learned, and you’ll share your thoughts with my tutor. You’ll also help me manage my energy and suggest breaks when I need them.  You will drive me in your own car so business insurance will be required and a mileage will be paid.

Sometimes, I might need a bit of help with personal care.

Oh, and We Have a Dog

She’s friendly, but you’ll need to be okay with dogs.
