The main focus of this role is to provide a safe, fun, and supportive environment after school. You will help to build confidence, develop independence, and engage in activities while providing a bit of respite for family.
Key Responsibilities
Engagement & Activities: Planning and sharing in fun, age-appropriate activities (e.g., arts and crafts, reading, baking, playing in the garden, or short outings to the local park).
Routine & Life Skills: Supporting with afternoon routines, such as preparing a light snack and encouraging simple independence skills.
Well-being: Providing attentive, patient, and compassionate care tailored to unique learning needs.
What We Are Looking For
Experience: Previous experience working with children or young people with learning difficulties or additional needs is highly desirable.
Qualities: You should be naturally patient, enthusiastic, trustworthy, and a great communicator.
Reliability: Consistency is incredibly important to help build a strong, trusting relationship.
Requirements: A current DBS check (or willingness to obtain one) and excellent references are essential. A clean driving license with business insurance is a plus but not mandatory.
