Parnell Mentor & Companion

We’re looking for a kind, fun, and reliable mentor to spend time with a chatty and cheerful 17-year-old. She loves dance, music, baking, dogs, and great conversation, and would enjoy someone who can hang out, plan fun activities, and be a supportive friend and role model.

This role is mostly about companionship —playing games, planning activities, and occasionally heading out to places like the beach, zoo, movies, or dance-related activities. Gentle guidance, supportand encouragement help her stay on track with plans and daily tasks.

This casual role is based in Parnell and offers around 4 hours of work per week, with flexible weekday morning hours(approximately between 10am–2pm). The pay rate is $28 per hour, and the role involves spending time together, helping prepare simple snacks or meals, and planning fun and engaging activities.

Support a bright young person with ADHD through encouragement and positive connection.

You might be

·       Outgoing, patient, and easy to talk to

·       Creative and happy to plan fun activities

·       Interested in working with young people or neurodiversity

·       A student in psychology, teaching, nursing, OT, social work, speechtherapy — or simply someone who enjoys mentoring teens

Requirements

·       Full driver’s licence and access to a car

·       Comfortable around friendly family dogs

·       Reliable, positive, and supportive

This is a lovely opportunity to build a meaningful connection while gaining valuable experience supporting a young person.

If you enjoy good conversation, baking, music,and making a difference, we’d love to hear from you
