My Requirements

I am looking for Childcare to provide services at home for my child with Autistic Needs. This job will suit you quite well if you have worked as a Nanny or Baby sitter or Child Carer, or Tutor or any other similar roles in the past.

Carer Financial Emoluments:
You will need to go through PAYE employment, where your pay will be £14.99 per hour (subjected to further NI deductions). This will be paid by the Council and their rates increase every year. Including the holiday pay this works out to be an average £16.65 per hour. This can be a long term piece of work.

Carer Requirements:
• I would be looking at 2-hour slot on a regular basis every week at home i.e. two (or more) days a week, may be Weekends (Saturday/Sunday) or Weekdays after School in the evening. This will increase to more number of days or more hours in future, so please kindly ensure that suits you.
• Please do have a look at our address where we are located. We live in Potters Bar, 16 minutes walk from the station. If you use public transport, then we get Bus Service PB. Please kindly proceed forward if the commute or travel suits you well.
• If everything goes on well with positive improvements, we are looking for your services for a very long-term duration. Please kindly do not pick up this job if you are only looking for a very short-term temporary or vacation engagement.

Work environment:
• We live in Potters Bar. My son has Special Education Needs with Autism, is 12 years old, in an Autism Base Mainstream School. Professionals have recommended lot of activity based learning and sensory-based learning. He has speech and language delay. So he doesn`t communicate and talk much. Physically he has no problems and is fine.
• He can talk a few words and some sentences as well, but not a lot of communication. He can read along with an adult or repeat with an adult, but doesn`t like to read and doesn`t have motivation to read. He can write alphabets and three letter words.
• Entire family are (Fully) COVID vaccinated, and hence can provide free from COVID environment.

Carer Tasks:
• As a Carer, you will need to improve his social and life skills, spend time with him to improve his communication skills, reading and writing skills.
• As a Carer, you will need to improve on his language communication skills by using activity based learning and sensory based learning.
• As a Carer, engage with him to support his reading and writing skills via activity based puzzles or picture cards or games or similar approaches.

Carer previous work experience:
• There is an expectation that you have dealt with autistic children in the past in some form or other.
• Several carers, who have not had the experience of working with autistic children, do prefer to use one of the free Level 2 Courses (which I can help).

Next Steps:
• Please kindly read the all of the above details and kindly let us know, if you are happy to provide the above services? If yes - Please kindly give a 'Like' so I can call you back in the next few weeks.
