Childcare for 8 year old AuDHD child over the summer

We are looking for someone to look after our 8 year old son Felix for some part-time hours over the summer holidays. This is a flexible role for a few hours in the morning over a number of days. We'd love to find someone who could build a relationship with Felix over the long-term and would like to continue to support him over future holidays and potentially 1-2 days after-school.

Felix has autism and ADHD. Felix is good fun, he is creative, high energy, funny and affectionate. He can also be demanding, impulsive and anxious. We'd love someone very experienced with SEN, who can be patient and calm with him. It may take a while to build a bond with him.

Felix likes to play card games and imaginative Minecraft games. He enjoys playgrounds and activities but can be hard to get to leave the house so it might be a lot of home projects at the moment - unless you have a car and can think of very exciting activities to persuade him (pier/ bowling etc!)

Key requirements:
- Experience with children with SEN (autism, PDA, sensory needs)
- Patient, emotionally regulated, and intuitive
- Strong communication and reliability
- DBS check
- Driver preferred
- Self Employed
