About the Client/Child
Ollie  is very well known to Snap Care — we’ve had the privilege 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, warm and welcoming family home. Ollie  has a dedicated 1:1 team (day and night) and a brilliant therapy team supporting his rehabilitation. He is an outgoing, joyful, energetic young boy with a huge love of singing, music, and sensory play. Outdoors is his happy place: he loves wheelchair walks to the park, people-watching and feeding the ducks. Olie has Cerebral Palsy affecting his overall development. He is a wheelchair user and requires support with all aspects of moving and handling, plus encouragement with eating. He is verbal and progressing beautifully with SLT input; he also uses PECs, some Makaton and ‘now and next’ boards to support his expressive communication. He is wonderfully expressive, thrives on lively interaction, and builds lovely rapport with people who bring fun, warmth and creativity to his day.

The Role at a Glance Your shift begins at 2.00 pm, preparing play activities and supper before collecting Ollie  from school in his wheelchair accessible vehicle (WAV). Some days include extracurricular clubs or therapy sessions, all following a clear weekly schedule. A key element of the role is delivering Ollie ’s therapy and rehabilitation programme in a playful, motivating and imaginative way. He loves silly humour and animated interaction — so bring your fun side! Ollie shares a very sweet, special bond with his 5-year-old brother, so gentle support to help them play and spend time together is important. His little brother always wants to be a part of what ever Ollie is doing. Ollie needs confident, skilled support with personal care, self-help and independence skills. Evenings are his favourite: a warm bath, a cosy wind-down routine and settling into bed with stories. A handover to his waking night carer completes your shift.

This Job Would Suit A fun, creative, bubbly and confident SEN Support Worker who enjoys learning and embracing new skills. This is an excellent opportunity for anyone wishing to grow their therapy knowledge. If you love to laugh, sing, be silly, playful and engaging — you’ll be Ollie’s kind of person!

Why You’ll Love This Role Supporting Ollie is the highlight. He is full of mischief, curiosity, joy and bright energy, and he will absolutely make you smile every day. This role is highly recommended by his current Snap Care team. You’ll receive excellent training, ongoing supervision and full support throughout.

About the Child: Daisy, 10, is a warm, easy-going girl who lives with her parents and siblings, (14 and 7). She enjoys books, magazines, baking, TV programmes, arts and crafts, outings to places such as the zoo, garden centres, cinema and bowling – and eating!  Daisy communicates using a small number of spoken words (“Yes”, “No” “More”), signs, gestures, and by leading adults, and is generally very effective at expressing her needs and preferences. Daisy has cerebral palsy and complex epilepsy. She is a wheelchair user but can weight bear and enjoys walking short distances with support and a handling belt. She uses the toilet and wears pads as needed, with adapted facilities and specialist equipment at home.

About the Client/Child Oscar, aged 22, is a bright, engaging and determined young man with a wide range of interests. Prior to recent changes in his health, he enjoyed cycling, languages (with a particular passion for French), playing the piano, reading, and socialising with friends. Oscar has cerebral palsy and relies on full support for his daily needs. He is a wheelchair user and non-verbal. Following recent spinal surgery at C3 level, Oscar currently has very limited movement from the neck down. As a result, his care needs have increased significantly, and his communication is transitioning to the use of head switches. It is still early days in his recovery, and while the long-term outcome remains uncertain, Oscar and his family remain hopeful that he will regain some abilities over time. He is cognitively very aware and continues to engage with those around him. With the right support, there may be opportunities for him to return to some of the activities he enjoys, such as horse riding (with specialist support) and swimming, as his recovery progresses. Oscar has a PEG in place for nutritional support when required and is supported by a dedicated, multi-disciplinary team. This is a period of significant change and adjustment for both Oscar and his family.

The Role at a Glance As Oscar’s Support Worker, you will play a key role in supporting him through this important stage of recovery and adjustment. Your role will involve providing full personal care, supporting his evolving communication needs, and ensuring he remains comfortable, engaged, and supported throughout his day. Oscar will currently be more passively involved, so your role will focus on facilitating meaningful interaction, promoting wellbeing, and supporting any activities in a way that is appropriate to his current abilities. You will work 1:1 with Oscar within the family home (where family members may be present), and at times alongside another Support Worker for outings, holidays, and when additional support is required. There is the option to work an additional Saturday each month, and further hours. Full training in all areas of Oscar’s care, including his updated clinical and communication needs, will be provided, along with ongoing support from the Team Leader and Oscar’s parents. The hourly rate offered is £16.00 on weekdays and £18.00 gross per hour on weekends. Following a successful six-month period in the role, the rate will increase to £17.00 on weekdays and £19.00 on weekends.

This Job Would Suit - A compassionate, resilient and proactive candidate who can step confidently into a role that is evolving. You must be able to work independently, respond flexibly, and offer a steady presence for Oscar during a significant period of change. Confidence in your approach is important, as Oscar is perceptive and responds strongly to reassurance and stability. The family is committed to investing in training and development and is looking for someone who is equally committed to making a long-term difference.

Why You’ll Love This Role The family offers excellent training and a warm, supportive working environment. This is a highly rewarding role where you will have the opportunity to make a meaningful difference during an important stage in Oscar’s life. Flexibility with shift patterns is available, and the family will do their best to accommodate the Support Worker’s availability. As an added incentive, a loyalty bonus of £500.00 is offered after twelve months of service.

The team provides 2:1 support day and night. His night care consists of one waking night carer, and one On-Call Night carer. His team continually promotes his independence, provides hand-on support with all areas of his ADL’s, personal care, and self-help skills.

About the Client/Child Harry, 38 years old, lives at home with his lovely family and is supported by his small, dedicated team of Support Workers. Harry has lived in Holloway all his life; everyone in his local community knows and loves him. Harry loves dance; he attends a music studio where he practices ‘free dancing’, he joins his weekly Boccia group once a week, he also enjoys swimming, going to the gym, and he especially loves going to Church. Probably top of the list is his allotment, a stone’s throw from his house. This is a wonderful space where Harry is planning a new sensory garden. A driver is required for trips further afield, however Harry’s preferred mode of transport is his 3-wheeler trike; he goes everywhere on it, so his Support Worker needs to be physically fit to keep up. Harry has cerebral palsy, learning disabilities and experiences high levels of anxiety. Due to his anxiety, meeting new people or initiating new activities can feel very overwhelming for him. He will require assistance with activities of daily life, including support with personal care, meal preparation, shopping, budgeting and accessing the community.

The Role at a Glance On arrival, there will be a short handover before going through Harry’s daily schedule; although no two days are alike, Harry knows in advance which activity he will be doing. You will gently support Harry to participate in his chosen activities, helping him to express his wishes in an appropriate way. Harry walks unaided but can lose his balance so his support worker must always be vigilant and physically able. Before reaching this point with Harry, new team members are introduced slowly. Initially, Harry may want to meet first, perhaps at his allotment or the dance studio, until he feels a sense of trust and security. Harry is a very gentle person; it is so important that he feels he has his own autonomy. There will be more in-depth information provided to shortlisted candidates regarding the introduction of new team members and how Harry’s anxiety impacts his daily life.

This Job Would Suit This role is going to suit a highly motivated, energetic and patient *male Support Worker. You will be working closely with Harry’s family to build a supportive and therapeutic relationship. Someone who is a real team player, (able to plan, organise and contribute ideas and can follow instructions and care plans), an excellent communicator, who genuinely wants to mentor and champion Harry to excel in his day-to-day life. If you also enjoy gardening, this will be a big help! When asked what his ideal support worker is, Harry says ‘I want someone to be kind to me and someone who is patient with me’.

Why You’ll Love This Role Full induction and training will be provided and this role would be particularly suitable for someone who may be looking for a career in social care. There will be a 16-week induction. This is an incredibly caring family with Harry very much at the heart of it and his community.

About the Client/Child: Harry is a bright and incredibly engaging wee boy (5 years) who is very much at the heart of his family. He lives with his mummy, daddy, and little brother. His gran who apart from being his lovely gran is also his lead support worker. He enjoys books, arcades, loves fast rides, bright lights, and the buzz of hustle and bustle. Harry has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and is completely dependent on his caregivers to meet all his care needs, and he can eat orally (small bites). He has epilepsy, which is managed with medication, though Harry may occasionally experience subtle absences which can look like brief moments of daydreaming. He is cognitively very alert and can become frustrated when not feeling he is being understood or would like to be involved and do things for himself. He uses his wheelchair full time so loves when he can get down on to the floor and cosy up on the sofa. Harry is just starting full-time at Pace Centre School, (Conductive Education) having previously attended the nursery there for a couple of years.

The Role at a Glance: Harry will be dressed and ready for pick-up each morning.

Initially, this role focuses on supporting her in getting Harry to and from school safely, with a kind and collaborative approach that ensures Harry’s transitions are smooth and safe.

This Job Would Suit: A Support worker who is warm and patient, who can be 100 % reliable and most importantly, be keenly responsive to Harry’s emotional and physical needs. For this role, a clean full UK licence is essential.

About the Client/Child Sam (19) is a bright, articulate and creative young man with a passion for wildlife photography, nature, Lego and animals. He has been living independently for the past two years and values his own space and autonomy, with some structured support in place to help him maintain this. Sam has a great sense of humour and enjoys engaging conversations, but he also experiences intense emotions and periods of low mood. He has diagnoses of PDA, ASC and ADHD, and his main challenges centre around anxiety, depression and managing demands. Sam is hypersensitive and can find situations difficult when he feels a lack of control, which may lead to periods of dysregulation. He enjoys keeping busy but equally needs quiet downtime to recharge. When planning activities, it’s important that Sam feels involved in decision-making and has a clear exit plan if he begins to feel overwhelmed.

The Role at a Glance Sam has recently been accepted onto a Photography course at the University of Westminster (Harrow campus), starting in September 2026 — an exciting step toward greater independence. Sam is currently based in St Albans but will be moving to Wembley Park soon to be closer to the university. As Sam’s Support Worker, you will provide dedicated 1:1 support in his home. You’ll support Sam with attending university and supporting him to complete coursework, including accompanying him when needed and being nearby if he feels overwhelmed or needs to finish early. Often, your presence alone will provide reassurance and help reduce anxiety. This role focuses on supporting Sam’s autonomy through collaborative, low-demand approaches, with clear and thoughtful communication essential due to his sensitivity to tone and phrasing. Sam is also a proud pet owner and adores his dog and two cats; supporting him with daily dog walks may form part of your responsibilities while ensuring he remains in control of their care.

This Job Would Suit We’re looking for a confident, resilient Support Worker who can build a strong, trusting relationship with Sam and bring calm consistency to his life. You’ll recognise when to give space and when to offer gentle encouragement, supporting his confidence and independence. A balanced personality is key — someone who enjoys outdoor adventures but is equally comfortable with quieter days at home. You must be a confident driver, happy to accompany Sam on photography trips, with an interest in nature or photography a bonus.

Why You’ll Love This Role This is a rewarding role with the opportunity to support Sam’s independence. With plenty of chances to explore new places, it offers variety and adventure. Parking at Sam’s house will be paid for by the family. Sam’s new flat is also a short 5 minutes’ walk from the station so arriving by tube is an option on days a car will not be required.

About the Client/Child Amy (5) is bright, determined, and highly motivated, described as “amazing” and “an absolute delight.” She is the third of four children, living with her mum and two sisters (one in Year 6, one a toddler), with an adult brother living independently. Amy acquired a brain injury at birth and has cerebral palsy whilst also experiencing cognitive and physical fatigue. Without structured rest, she can become overstimulated, leading to meltdowns with distress, shouting, and throwing objects. She is prone to falls but can walk short distances, manage stairs with supervision, and uses a wheelchair for longer journeys. Amy enjoys school, therapies (physio, OT, hydrotherapy), socialising, and spending time with her sisters, but requires structured support to balance activity and rest. She works with a small therapy team and needs consistent support both at school and home to manage fatigue safely and develop positive peer relationships.

The Role at a Glance This hands-on role involves supporting Amy throughout her day, as well as providing practical and emotional support to her mum and siblings.

Responsibilities also include supporting her siblings when needed and assisting with household tasks—washing, hoovering, and cooking from fresh ingredients. Core hours are Monday to Friday, 7:30 am–7:30 pm, with a possible job-share arrangement between 2 candidates.

Experience running a household, raising children, or working in similar settings is advantageous.

Why You’ll Love This Role You’ll join a warm, motivated family in a modern, spacious home with outdoor space and a self-contained annex for breaks. The role allows you to build a long-term, meaningful relationship with Amy and her sisters while supporting her adapted timetable.

About the Client/Child Peter (32) is bright, independent, and has a cheeky sense of humour. He enjoys travelling, museums, art, music (rock, soul, opera), eating out, outdoor activities, and has a keen interest in science, particularly astronomy and astrophysics. Peter also follows world politics closely. He has cerebral palsy and communicates effectively using a Neuromotor system. He is mobile but uses a wheelchair for longer distances. Peter benefits from consistent, understanding support and thrives in a structured, calm environment.

The Role at a Glance We are looking for a Support Worker to join a small team and assist Peter with all aspects of daily living, both at home and in the community. Out and about, Peter requires 2:1 support: one person focusing on communication, the other on physical needs. Responsibilities include personal care, morning routines, physiotherapy exercises, and meal preparation. You will also support Peter in leisure activities such as swimming, visiting museums, and socialising. The role may involve occasional late finishes or overnight support. These are infrequent, usually planned in advance, and balanced with time off or rest periods. Peter will be undergoing surgery in June so we are particularly interested to hear from candidates with a background with physical disability, post-surgery support, and physiotherapy. Hourly rate being offered: £23.00 to £26.00 depending on how many years of experience, level of training the candidate’s educational background.

Who this job would suit: This role is ideal for a Support Worker who is empathetic, vigilant, and reliable, with the ability to respect Peter’s independence while providing sensitive guidance and acting in his best interests. Patience and understanding are especially important on days when Peter feels more anxious. Peter forms close emotional attachments to his Support Workers and depends on them fully, so this role is best suited to candidates who are genuinely invested in supporting him on his journey. You will become Peter’s voice, and the training provided in his communication system is in-depth and highly specific. A very high standard of written English, with strong vocabulary and excellent grammatical skills, is essential, as the client’s communication system and FCT training rely heavily on detailed written language and technical terminology. **Additionally, clear and easily understood spoken English is required to ensure effective communication and support — accents or speech patterns that materially affect comprehension are not compatible with this role.

Why You’ll Love This This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in Peter’s life. In return, you will receive comprehensive training in his communication system. The role may involve supporting Peter with CBT exercises, and in terms of CPD, we are open to supporting relevant external training.

You will play an important role in helping him build social confidence, maintain friendships and feel supported without feeling restricted.

You’ll be comfortable accompanying an 18-year-old into social and community settings, striking the right balance between being supportive and giving space. You will have waking night experience and be confident supporting someone with a physical disability. A friendly, down-to-earth personality, a good sense of humour and an interest in topics such as football, politics, history or gaming would be a great fit.

Why You’ll Love This Role Spending time with Rayan– he is bright, engaging and full of personality. Excellent work-life balance with 4 nights on, 4 nights off. Full training is provided, including guidance on physical support and physiotherapy stretches. You’ll be part of a small, supportive team making a genuine difference at an important stage of a young person’s life.
