About the Role
We are seeking a confident, caring, and reliable Support Worker to provide respite activities for our 6-year-old daughter, who has Autism, learning disabilities, and is non-verbal.

Role responsibilities include:
- Supporting her hobbies and outdoor activities (e.g. walks, play in the park).
- Assisting with personal care and toileting needs.
- Building a trusting relationship by first working alongside mum, before gradually taking sole charge once a bond has been established.
Hours:
- School Holidays only – 4hrs p/week on a weekday
- Additional weekend hours may be available throughout the year. Further details can be discussed during the application process.
Requirements:
- Full UK driving licence and access to own car with appropriate business insurance.
- Enhanced DBS check required (fully funded by employer). Applicants with a current DBS on the update service will be at an advantage.
- Experience in childcare is essential. Experience supporting children with special educational needs is desirable.
- Above all, we are looking for someone kind, patient, and dependable.
Terms & Benefits:
- Fully employed position.
- £15.60 per hour.
