Harmony at Home is looking for a warm, caring and experienced childcare professional to provide 1:1 support to a lovely 7-year-old boy during his holiday club.
He is an autistic child who is happy, friendly and able to enjoy the activities at the holiday club with his peers. He is independent with his personal care, including using the bathroom, and does not require hands-on assistance with everyday tasks.
The holiday club would love for him to continue attending, but due to their staff-to-child ratios, they require additional 1:1 support to ensure he is safe and has the support he needs throughout the day.
The role is primarily about providing gentle supervision, reassurance and support while allowing him to participate in the holiday club as independently as possible. The successful candidate will be able to recognise when he is becoming overstimulated and calmly step in to help him regulate and make sure he remains safe.
This is a lovely opportunity for someone who is patient, observant and confident supporting children with additional needs. The ideal candidate will have a calm and nurturing approach and understand the importance of giving a child space and independence while being there when extra support is needed.
The aim is simply to help him have a happy, safe and enjoyable time at holiday club, while enabling him to take part alongside the other children.
There will be potential for this to become a regular role or at minimum school holiday role. But this is not mandatory.
