About the Client/Child Pete is well known to us at Snap Care; we’ve had the pleasure of supporting him since he was a teeny wee tot! Now almost 10, he lives at home with his Mum, Dad and younger brother in a fully adapted family home. Pete has a dedicated team of Support Workers providing 1:1 support (day and night), alongside a privately instructed therapy team focusing on his rehabilitation. Pete is an outgoing, happy, energetic, and confident young boy with a big love for singing, music, and sensory play. He is also very outdoorsy and enjoys wheelchair walks to the local park where he loves to people‑watch and feed the ducks. Pete has Cerebral Palsy which affects his overall development. He is a wheelchair user and requires support with all aspects of moving and handling, as well as encouragement with eating. He is verbal and making excellent progress with SLT input; he also uses PECs, some Makaton, and ‘now and next’ boards to support his expressive communication. He is wonderfully expressive and loves fun, animated interaction.
The Role at a Glance At the start of your shift at 2.00 pm, you will prepare play activities and supper before collecting Pete from school in his wheelchair‑adapted vehicle (WAV). Some days may include extracurricular activities or therapy appointments directly after school, following a clear weekly schedule. A key part of the role is implementing Pete’s therapy and rehabilitation programme in a fun, creative and motivating way. He loves silly, playful interaction — so no shrinking violets, please! He has a very loving relationship with his younger brother (5), and gentle encouragement to play together is important. Pete requires confident, practical support with personal care, self‑help and independence skills. His evening routine is one of his favourite parts of the day: a warm bath followed by settling into bed with stories. At the end of each shift, you will complete a handover with Pete’s waking night carer.
This Job Would Suit A fun, creative, bubbly and confident SEN Support Worker who is keen to learn new skills. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone interested in developing or expanding their therapy knowledge. If you love to laugh, sing and dance — you’ll fit right in!
Why You’ll Love This Role Everything! Supporting Pete is the true highlight of this position. He is full of mischief, energy and joy — and we guarantee he’ll make you smile every day. This role comes highly recommended by current Snap Care Support Workers. Excellent training, ongoing supervision and full support are provided.
