About this client/child: Duncan aged 4 is a bright and curious little boy who loves anything about trains (and vehicles generally), especially Thomas the Tank Engine and building long Brio railway tracks. He enjoys books (particularly Julia Donaldson), animals — with a special fascination for sea creatures like sharks — water play, climbing on his climbing frame, outdoor adventures, and has recently begun exploring drawing and crafts. He lives with his mum and usually sees his dad a few times a week. Duncan has a diagnosis of autism spectrum condition (ASC) and developmental delay of approximately 1–2 years across all milestones. He is verbal and able to communicate his needs, often through echolalia, and has limited social and conversational language. When distressed, he may display challenging behaviours such as biting, pinching, or chewing on people or objects for sensory input. Duncan is potty trained, using both the toilet and potty with some support; he needs prompting and assistance with personal care such as hand washing. He also requires encouragement and support with tasks that involve fine motor skills, like using cutlery or drawing. He will be starting school in September and is expected to attend a specialist resource base within a mainstream school close to his house.

Overview of role: This role involves collecting Duncan from school and supporting him through a calm, engaging afternoon routine. After school, you might head to the park or enjoy some climbing in the garden, followed by quieter time at home with fun and stimulating activities — such as building an elaborate railway scene or acting out one of his favourite books. You'll also prepare his snack and help with light household tasks, including food prep, tidying and laundry related to Duncan, and making sure everything is organised for the following day. On days with a late finish, you will also carry out his bedtime routine. During the school holidays, you'll have greater flexibility to plan and research outings and activities further afield that match Duncan's interests. Key developmental areas you will support include turn-taking, personal care routines, using cutlery, and developing Duncan's expressive and social communication skills. In September, when Duncan first starts school, he will be on a reduced timetable, so there will be some additional hours available if that’s of interest to you.

Who this job would suit: This role is ideal for someone with experience working 1:1 in a school or nursery environment. You’ll need patience, creativity, and a calm approach to support Duncan’s developmental needs and build a trusting relationship. Prior experience caring for an autistic child of a similar age is essential. The right *female candidate will be confident and calm in managing meltdowns, helping Duncan regulate his emotions with reassurance and consistent support.

What’s great about this job: Duncan is a lot of fun to be around with many interests to explore, and his mum is very easy-going, providing a relaxed and supportive environment. Mum works in central London, so you’ll have the opportunity to work independently with Duncan. Additional hours can be mutually agreed on an ad-hoc basis if desired. This is a rewarding role where you can really make a positive difference while enjoying a friendly, understanding family setting.
