About the Role & Family
SENNIES is excited to support a warm family of five based in SW11 in finding a dedicated temporary Sennie for September 2026 and possibly October 2026. The family have three children — G10, B7 and B3 — all with additional needs and requiring consistent, structured and nurturing support. This role requires someone who can step confidently into an established family routine from day one.

G10 and B7 attend school, and B3 attends nursery during term time. The role involves supporting all three children with activities, meals, play and daily routines, while maintaining the calm, predictable and boundaried environment that all three children thrive in. A key focus is supporting emotional regulation and behaviour, particularly during transitions and sibling dynamics. The family uses structured routines, clear boundaries and positive reinforcement strategies, which the Sennie will be expected to follow consistently throughout.

The Sennie will also support B3 with calm, play-based developmental activities and practical strategies recommended by his OT and SLT, while ensuring G10 and B7 receive appropriate emotional and behavioural support tailored to their needs. Strong organisation, proactive planning and the ability to manage multiple needs calmly and confidently are essential.
