Registered Childminder with Special Needs Experience Job in Islington, London
About Me
Hello! I am a reliable working mother based in Clerkenwell (EC1V) looking for essential, flexible childcare support. I have secured a new role with Lidl starting on 9th November, which involves rotational shift patterns, early morning store opening shifts, and occasional evening or weekend hours. Rotas are provided 4 weeks in advance. My son (KK) is a wonderful boy, and we are currently setting up his SEND school transport.
My Requirements
Looking for Ofsted-Registered (or Open to Voluntary Registration) Evening & After-School Childcare (SEND Experience Essential) – Clerkenwell (EC1)
Key Requirement: Care MUST be Ofsted-registered (Childminder / Registered Nanny / Voluntary Childcare Register) to qualify for Universal Credit childcare support.
About the Role & Schedule
I am starting a new job with a rotational shift pattern (4-week advance rota) and am looking for a reliable, punctual, and caring professional to help with my young son (who is non-verbal and autistic) at our home in Clerkenwell.
Mornings are fully taken care of (school bus pick-up), so no morning support is required. Care is needed exclusively for after-school, late evenings, and rotational weekend shifts.
Specific Responsibilities:
1. After-School Pickup & Evening Cover:
On late shift days (finishing between 5:00 PM and 11:00 PM), receive my son after school / from his school bus drop-off around 3:30 PM.
Manage his evening routine at our home: dinner, calming activities, and bedtime routine.
Remain at our home until I return from my shift (up to 11:30 PM on late finishes).
2. Access & Keys:
Lockbox spare keys will be set up at the property for seamless access.
An FB14 universal gate key will be provided directly by hand for entry to gated areas.
3. Rotational Weekend Cover:
Weekend shift cover as needed based on my 4-week advance rota (no school transport on weekends).
4. Flexible Rota Coordination:
Candidate must be comfortable working from a 4-week advance rota provided in advance.
Applicant Requirements & Registration Support:
Ofsted Registration: Preferred Ofsted-registered (Childminder / Nanny / Voluntary Register).
Voluntary Register Offer: If you are not currently registered, I will cover the upfront costs for your Ofsted Voluntary Childcare Register fee (£103) and DBS check so you can get registered to take on these pickups and evening shifts.
SEND Experience: Essential (experience with non-verbal autism preferred).
Absolute punctuality, reliability, and patience.
To Apply:
Please send a message with your availability, hourly/daily rates, and confirmation of your Ofsted Registration Number (URN) or willingness to complete the voluntary registration. Thank you!
