The Role at a Glance: This is a varied and rewarding role supporting Theo after school and at weekends, helping him transition from school to home, enjoy his activities, stay safe and feel regulated with clear, calm and consistent routines. The successful candidate will be supporting daily after-school routines, meal times, toileting and personal care, and helping Theo enjoy his favourite activities, both indoors and outdoors, depending on his mood and the weather. Close supervision is essential, particularly in kitchens and bathrooms and when out and about, as Theo can become unsettled quickly if he is uncomfortable, unwell or overwhelmed. Weekend hours are flexible and may be spread across one or two weekends each month, with the possibility of occasional overnight stays as the role develops. Theo sleeps through the night so the SEN Nanny / Manny is unlikely to be disturbed once he is asleep. The family has created a warm, spacious and well-equipped home, with dedicated indoor and outdoor spaces designed around Theo's needs. There is plenty of room for him to play, stay calm and enjoy his favourite activities. The home environment has been adapted to support his safety and comfort. This is a chance to join a family who value kindness, warmth and teamwork. If you enjoy making a meaningful difference to a child's life while working in a supportive setting, this role offers real purpose as well as flexibility and variety.
