My Requirements

Hours: Monday to Friday 6:25am – 9/9:30am then 3:45pm - 7:45pm - extra variable hours over school holidays

Job Description:
We are seeking an energetic, enthusiastic, and experienced governess or teacher with SEN experience (preferably gained in an educational setting) to work with and nurture our delightful, playful, and engaging 6year-old daughter who has been diagnosed with autism and unspecified learning difficulties. We will also consider applicants with personal experience with ASD children. Our daughter requires an emotionally intelligent governess to help develop her language, speech and academic skills.

The ideal candidate will also:
- be organized, structured, and possess a patient, encouraging, and fun nature.
- have an understanding of how to interact with and provide discipline for children with autism.
- be proficient in conducting a specialized curriculum

About the Child:
- Lovely nature and highly empathetic.
- Potty trained but has occasional accidents.
- Termed non-verbal but can communicate basic requests.
- loves reading and writing.
- She likes forest walks and climbing.

Morning Responsibilities:
- Giving homoeopathic medications
- Encouraging the child to eat by herself
- Doing her morning workout routine with her
- Encouraging the child to wash and dress herself
- Preparing uniforms and the schoolbag.
- Once the child has left for school, you would be responsible for tidying her room and bathroom, and making sure her washing up and laundry are done to a good standard
- Preparing homoeopathic medications later
- Preparing lesson materials for later

Afternoon responsibilities:
- Sometimes picking the child up from school
- You will use the after school period to teach both life and academic skills
- Encourage the child to cut her food and eat without help.
- Helping the child with bathtime and encouraging her to get dressed without help.

Other responsibilities include writing weekly reports, checking her school app, ensuring she has spare clothes at school, and helping her mother prepare for holidays (packing, doing extra laundry for the child, making sure she has spare clothing and night nappies). Being able to cook vegan, gluten-free food would be advantageous. Driving is not essential, but it would be beneficial to your application. The area is based in Northwood, and you would not be required to drive in central London.

We would like someone to commit to a minimum term of two years. We are happy to accept live-in and live-out applications. However, you'll need to live locally because the role requires a 6:25am start at the latest.

You must speak English fluently and have teaching and/ or experience with children with ASD.
We are keen to see their daughter progress and want someone to go on this journey with them. A competitive salary will be offered for the right candidate.

A competitive remuneration package will be provided based on experience and ability.

Accommodation:
A newly built, adjacent one-bedroom apartment will be provided, including all bills and TV. The apartment encompasses approximately 500 sqft and features a separate living area and kitchen, private bathroom, and bedroom.

Thank you for your interest.
