Job description

About the Client/Child:

Harry (7) is a bright, active boy who loves to be engaged and helpful. He enjoys soft play, playgrounds, swimming and spending time outdoors, as well as activities at home such as letter puzzles, mark making and helping with snack or meal prep. Nathen (10), his older brother, is independent, protective, and enjoys art, baking, and listening to audiobooks. Harry has a diagnosis of Autistic Spectrum Condition (ASC) and a rare genetic neuro‑developmental disorder. He is non‑verbal but communicates effectively using visual timetables and his communication book. He can be very expressive depending on his mood and his receptive language is strong. Harry requires support with daily living tasks (dressing, toileting, snack prep) and social interactions, including waiting and turn‑taking.

The Role at a Glance:

This is a lovely part‑time Saturday role supporting a warm family who will value an extra pair of hands. You'll provide occasional respite, giving parents the chance to spend one‑to‑one time with their eldest son while you engage with Harry. There's plenty of opportunity to be imaginative and focus on developing Harry's life skills, which have come on brilliantly over the past year – for example, helping him choose and prepare his own snacks. The family would love someone who is creative and can bring fresh ideas and positive energy into the home. Harry enjoys being active, so you'll be confident to take him out in his buggy or help his parents with outings such as swimming or soft play. This role is child‑focused, with minimal household input beyond food for Harry and tidying up after activities.

This Job Would Suit:

This is a wonderful part‑time SEN Nanny / Manny role for someone confident supporting children with additional needs in a sole‑charge capacity, including those who are non‑verbal. The ideal person will be nurturing, patient, and engaging – someone who brings fun and positivity to the day, while also offering calm reassurance and clear boundaries when needed.

Why You'll Love This Role:

You'll be joining a warm, down‑to‑earth, and loving family who will truly value your input and welcome you with open arms. You will play a key role in Harry's on‑going development and have a positive impact on family life.

Recruitment Process:

Snap Care manages the full recruitment process, including shortlisting, recruiter interviews, and arranging employer interviews.

Sole charge experience supporting a child of similar age, or older, who is non‑verbal and has ASC. Non‑smoker/vaper
