My Requirements

We are seeking a fun-loving and caring individual to join our family and act as a carer for our disabled son, who has epilepsy and complex needs. He is a chirpy playful six year old boy, with some learning difficulties. To capture his attention, you would need a sense of fun, imagination, creativity and sensitivity to emotional needs.

He loves craft, baking, build-it activities, music, dancing, imaginative play, reading books and outdoor play. He is home educated through an EHCP. This role includes being his carer/TA during education hours and a playmate before and after school hours.

Some experience with additional needs is desirable. You would need to work well in a team with others helping him, and communicate well with the team and family.

The vacancy has come up because our nanny of ten years is starting maternity leave. We have also had an au pair in post, and another nanny/carer who is able to flex hours, so we have great flexibility for the right person.

We will consider a full time or part time role, and live in or live out positions are both possible. The vacancy is from June 2026.

There is private accommodation on the top floor of the house, and plenty of space at home - so it is very possible to have your own uninterrupted downtime away from busy family life. We are surrounded by beautiful green spaces and local amenities. We are a short walk from the train station and 20 mins from central London on the Elizabeth Line.

We are a Christian family, and would love to find someone who will uphold our Christian values at home.

There are additional checks we require for this role, including right to work in the UK and a DBS check. All training for the role can be provided, including his emergency seizure treatment plan.
