SEN Nanny/Manny in Radlett, WD7. A great part-time weekend opportunity for a SEN Nanny/Manny to support a happy boy of 6 who has a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC). £23.00 gross per hour. Nearest Station: Radlett £23.00 Gross per hour Driving Requirements: Yes, will need own car to take clients out in the community. Milage paid when used on duty. Essential: At least 2 years experience of working with a non-verbal autistic child. Some experience of taking sole charge out in the community with a non-verbal child. Desirable: Training in AAC, physically fit and strong. Openness to discussing occasional weekend travel with the family if schedules allow. Start Date: ASAP Days & Hours: Two Saturdays a month and one Sunday a month, 9.00am to 6.00pm (happy to negotiate this for the right candidate). There are additional hours available during school holidays if desired, typical hours would be 10.00 am to 4.00pm. Pets in Home: None Recruiter Contact: Rachael (url removed) About the Client/Child Rowen (6) is a happy, loving little boy who enjoys splashing in water, spending time outdoors, soft play, and watching Peppa Pig. His younger brother, Jake (3), is very chatty and loves playing with his small world toys. Rowen is autistic, non-verbal, and has a global developmental delay with limited understanding. He currently wears nappy pants and requires full support with all aspects of his personal care. He communicates using AAC and PECS, and many of his frustrations or meltdowns are linked to challenges around communication, or triggers such as sudden noises or interactions with his younger brother. During moments of dysregulation, Rowen may bite his hands and occasionally attempt to bite the person supporting him. Offering safe movement breaks (for example, jumping in a controlled space) or some screen time usually helps him to regulate fairly quickly. The Role at a Glance This lovely family are seeking an extra pair of hands at weekends to help ease the challenges of balancing the different needs of their two children. Finding activities that suit both can be tricky, often leading to stress for everyone. Your main focus will be supporting Rowen, giving mum and dad the chance to enjoy improved quality time with both children. Some days this may involve accompanying the family on outings, with the flexibility to take Rowen out of the situation if it becomes overwhelming. On other days, it might mean planning and organising tailored activities designed specifically for Rowen, ensuring he is engaged and supported. When out and about Rowen will need very close monitoring as he has little awareness of danger. This Job Would Suit This role would suit a cheerful, positive, calm, patient, and proactive SEN nanny with experience supporting a child who is autistic and non-verbal. The ideal person will be confident using AAC/PECS, adaptable to different family routines, and able to step in with creativity and initiative whether that s supporting Rowen during a family outing or planning fun, tailored activities at home. Someone who can bring calm, consistency, and reassurance will make a real difference to both Rowen and the whole family s weekend experience. Why You ll Love This Role This is a fantastic opportunity to make a real difference to family life while creating and enjoying fun, tailored activities with Rowen. The family are supportive and committed and are happy to fund specialist training or additional courses to help you provide the best support for Rowen and to develop your own skills.

Pets in Home: One friendly dog Recruiter Contact: Janet About the Client I had the absolute pleasure meeting Adam. He wanted to give you all a little introduction. Hi I am a 37-year-old man with a dog who loves living. I had an accident when I was 6 years old and now want to get out and socialise by completing fun activities such as the cinema, gym and cooking. I would love to have someone friendly to do these activities with and someone who will motivate me! Having someone next to me while increasing my confidence would be incredible! Due to Adam s brain injury his anxiety will spike at times, for example when meeting new people, or initiating new activities. He would love to start going to the gym again and is keen to have his support worker by his side. His short-term memory can be unreliable so being supported in building a structured weekly plan will be hugely beneficial, plus motivate Adam to start the day earlier and with gusto. Adam can get up, washed and dressed without any support and keeps a very tidy house he lives independently with his loyal and friendly dog. The Role at a Glance Adam has not employed Support Workers for the past 5 years so this is going to be a slow and gentle process for team Adam . The right person is going to work with Adam in changing his daily routine, with a huge amount of positive energy and patience. You will be led by Adam, however, you ll have the experience of knowing when to step up your guidance and support. Adam and his case manager spoke about earlier starts, say 10.00am, taking his dog out for a walk, then planning the day or days ahead with structured and meaningful activities. Adam mentioned the gym, but he also loves going for day trips to National Trust properties and would eventually love to plan longer trips away, coach trips for instance. He would really like to do more cooking, so an interest in this would be hugely beneficial. Adam is also working towards volunteering again in a local café which he is excited about. The main goal during the hours spent with Adam will be to build on his confidence, showing him how much he can achieve, and keeping him on track through purposeful activities. This Job Would Suit An experienced male support worker who will bring previous experience of supporting adults with an Acquired Brain Injury. There will be more information regarding this on application. Having a genuine passion for this type of work. A confident driver with your own car is essential, to enable Adam to travel further afield. Why You ll Love This Role The number one reason for applying is of course the opportunity to work alongside Adam, a very kind and warm person, with a lovely infectious laugh. There will be extensive onboarding and training, with ongoing supervision from his fantastic case manager. Recruitment Process This vacancy is being managed through Snap Care s Shortlist Service.
