About the role/family: SENNIES is delighted to support a warm family of seven seeking a dedicated and compassionate Sennie to provide sole care for their 13-year-old daughter, G13. She is one of five siblings and benefits greatly from one-to-one support as the family continues to thrive following the loss of their dad in 2017.

G13 is bright, unique, and supported by tailored strategies developed with specialist practitioners. The Sennie will help implement these strategies, offering calm, structured guidance as G13 builds independence, navigates daily life, and develops essential life skills. Key duties include supporting her emotional regulation, encouraging her to try new activities, revisiting challenges constructively, and assisting with routines such as personal care, meal prep, and skills-building tasks. Close collaboration with her mum is essential for consistent support.

For live-in candidates, the family offers exclusive use of a large room in their spacious six-bedroom Edwardian home with off-street parking. They are also open to expediting plans for a private garden annex. The home features a relaxing private garden and is ideally located in Summertown, Oxford, just minutes from shops, cafés, restaurants, and excellent transport links to the city centre.

The family seeks someone patient, adaptable, proactive, and genuinely passionate about helping G13 grow. Experience in childcare, SEN, or behaviour support is a bonus, but a caring, committed approach is most important.
