Support worker for trips out with 7 year old boy who has ADHD and autism

We are looking for someone on an ad hoc basis although a weekly trip may happen if all goes well,
To take our 7 year old son out so that we can complete tasks and have a break, this will be mainly in the holidays/weekends although some morning support may be requested when my husband has work and cannot support in mornings for challenging school runs,
He has ADHD and autism and can exhibit some challenging behaviours but once out and about doing something he enjoys he tends to settle down for people outside of the home,
Trips out would include things like swimming, tapnell farm, beach walks, Blackgang chine, robin hill and maybe even the cinema if he can cope,
Support for mornings if needed on an ad hoc basis would be support for school runs as these can be challenging but only when my husband is away
Our son has a carers card with plus 1 and we would pay for other outtings/a coffee and lunch for carer if the outting is over lunch or dinner, fuel will also be covered, we are in the west wight so a driver is important and a car seat would be provided
Personal care may be needed for mornings if needed although our son usually prefers us to do this for him, experience in autism and ADHD preferred however lived experience is fine too, call for a discussion as experience isn't completely required if you are the right person and gel well with our son.
