About the Role
This is a rewarding opportunity to spend time with a lively, playful child who loves to run, jump, and explore the world through her senses.
He is pre-verbal and communicates by hand leading and showing you what he needs, so we are looking for someone patient, observant, and responsive to her unique communication style.
Your time together will focus on:
- ✅ Engaging in fun, active play (getting fully involved!)
- ✅ Supporting social and leisure activities
- ✅ Encouraging independence in a safe, supportive way
- ✅ Assisting with personal and continence care (nappies)
🌈 About You
We’re looking for someone who is:
- Energetic, physically active, and happy to get involved on her level
- Playful, patient, and able to follow her lead
- Comfortable adapting to non-verbal communication (no Makaton required)
- Willing to support with personal care needs
- Reliable, caring, and keen to build a trusting relationship
💡 Experience with children with additional needs or autism is helpful, but not essential, the right personality is what matters most.
Sixth form or college students with relevant experience are welcome to apply.
👨👩👧 Support & Environment
- You’ll initially work alongside family members to build confidence and a strong relationship
- Family are flexible and focused on finding the right match
🌟 Why This Role?
This is a chance to make a genuine difference while having fun, being active, and building a meaningful connection. No two sessions will be the same, lots of laughter, movement, and playful energy guaranteed!
If you’re kind, energetic, and ready to make a positive impact, we’d love to hear from you! 💫
