Due to a change in care package I am recruiting SEN nanny/Support Worker to join my daughters package and work 2:1

We currently have the following role -

1 - P/T or F/T Live out -nanny/support worker flexible on days/hours Mon - Fri ( could be term time only)

1 x respite support worker - 1 weekend a months ( 2 x 10 -12 hour shifts)

Could be 2 people or 1 person

The role we have is different to most roles on here as we are looking for a nanny/support worker for a 23 year old young lady with disabilities.

I am looking on a childcare site as whilst she may be 23 years old in age, cognitively she is like a young child and so needs someone with the nanny/childcare skills ideally.

G requires support with all aspects of her daily life and to help her live life to the fullest. Including support with all aspects of life skills

You need to be able to handle behaviours that challenge, hours of jigsaws and Peppa Pig, along with cuddles that are more like head locks.

There will be plenty of belly laughs, along with the more challenging days and able to know when to distract and use humour rather than to go into ‘battle’. It’s not the easiest role, but it can be bundles of fun for the right people who just ‘get’ her.

G is a very caring, loving young lady who has a great sense of humour - however due to her needs can get anxious & confused & this shows through her behaviours at times.

We are looking for someone who has experience,or a genuine interest in supporting children/young people with disabilities ( autism/learning difficulties ), particularly behaviours that challenge and who understands the need to follow a set routine when they are caring for her including activities such as art, baking, music etc.

Someone who loves animals is also required as we have 2 bouncy boxers plus one of her activities is farm based. Driver preferred but not essential. Fluent English is required as is a DBS and relevant references.
