Tom, 6, is an energetic and loving boy who thrives outdoors, especially in water—he excels at swimming and enjoys all kinds of water play. He also loves watching Hey Duggee, building forts, playing football, and attending weekly gymnastics. Diagnosed with Autism Spectrum Condition, Hypermobility, and Hypotonia, Tom is preverbal and requires full support with social, emotional, and language development, as well as personal care. He has sensory-seeking tendencies and may display behaviours that challenge. He benefits from reassurance, prompting, and supervision across activities, social interactions, and emotional regulation. Tom dislikes coughs, sneezes, waiting in line, and crowded spaces. Transitions can be difficult when he is deeply engaged in an activity. To support his development, he attends speech and language therapy twice a week and participates in morning school sessions.

Overview of role: We are looking for a dedicated and energetic SEN Nanny/Manny to provide full-time support for Tom. This role is all about building a trusting relationship with him while implementing effective strategies to support his social, emotional, and language development. Tom thrives on play, both indoors and outdoors, so his SEN Nanny/Manny should be active, proactive, and enthusiastic about engaging him in physical activities. He communicates effectively using PECS, so experience with this system would be highly beneficial. The role will involve encouraging play and outdoor activities (weather permitting), supporting Tom in managing his behaviours through tailored techniques, assisting with toilet training and personal care, preparing meals, and carrying out light domestic tasks related to him. We’re looking for someone who is fun, engaging, and able to recognise when Tom needs personal space. As he responds well to routine and consistency, a patient and structured approach is key. Tom is not currently attending school full-time, so having someone who can support his learning and development is essential. However, he will also require regular movement breaks and downtime. If you have the experience, energy, and compassion to support Tom’s development in a positive and active way, we’d love to hear from you!

Who this job would suit: This role is ideal for a professional and experienced SEN Nanny/Manny with expertise in supporting young children with ASC, including those who are non-verbal. The ideal candidate will be emotionally resilient, with a strong track record of implementing effective strategies to support language development and manage challenging behaviours.

What’s great about this job: This is a wonderful opportunity to support the whole family and grow a trusting bond with Tom to continue his ongoing development. Opportunity to participate in twice-weekly sessions with a trained Speech and Language Therapist (SALT).
