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

A Bit About Me

Im really into aviation, love watching planes take off and land, and I always snap photos of them. I also enjoy cycling on my adapted bike, especially in the park, and I’m always up for discovering new places.

• Science and Italian GCSE
• Photography
• Engineering

Youll support me during lessons, help me stay focused, and encourage me to be independent. At the end of each session, we will chat about what I’ve learned, and youll share your thoughts with my tutor. Youll also help me manage my energy and suggest breaks when I need.

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

Oh, and We Have a Dog

Shes friendly, but youll need to be okay with dogs.

Hours & Pay

• 34 hours a day, Monday to Friday
• Some Saturdays, depending on what Im learning
