Full job description

Overview
Children’s Enabler / Support Worker – Neurodivergent Child (EOTAS)£15 per hour | Ad Hoc Hours | Average 3 Hours Per Week

We are looking for a friendly, reliable, and enthusiastic Enabler/Support Worker to support our 9-year-old daughter.

This role is funded through Direct Payments.

Our daughter is a neurodivergent child who is educated through an EOTAS (Education Otherwise Than At School) package. We are seeking someone who can build a positive relationship with her, support her interests, and help her access enjoyable activities in the community.

This role would suit someone with experience supporting children or young people with Autism (ASD), ADHD, PDA (Pathological Demand Avoidance), anxiety, or EBSA (Emotionally Based School Avoidance).

About the Role

The focus of this role is to provide companionship, encouragement, and support to access activities, build confidence, and enjoy positive experiences within the community.

Activities may include:

Trips to parks, cafés, libraries, shops, attractions, and community activities.
Arts, crafts, baking, games, and creative activities.
Supporting hobbies and interests.
Helping build confidence and independence.
Providing a safe, supportive, and enjoyable environment.

Important Information

Our daughter generally requires 2:1 support when accessing the community.

Initially, the successful applicant will act as the second adult, supporting alongside a parent and, on occasion, one of her grandparents.

As trust and familiarity develop, there may be opportunities for a second enabler to work alongside you, enabling both enablers to provide community support without a parent being present.

Hours

Average of 3 hours per week.
Hours are ad hoc and flexible.
Most support is likely to be required at weekends.
There may also be opportunities for weekday afternoons and evenings.
Additional hours may occasionally become available.

Essential Requirements

Full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle – this is a mandatory requirement.
Enhanced DBS certificate or willingness to obtain one.
Experience supporting neurodivergent children or young people.
Understanding of Autism (ASD), ADHD, and PDA profiles.
Patient, kind, flexible, and reliable.
Ability to build trust and work in a child-led, low-demand way.
Good communication skills and ability to work collaboratively with parents.

Desirable

Experience of EOTAS, EBSA, anxiety, or school avoidance.
Previous experience as a support worker, teaching assistant, nanny, enabler, youth worker, or similar role.

Pay

£15 per hour

To Apply

Please send details of:

Your relevant experience.
Confirmation that you hold a full UK driving licence and have access to a vehicle.
Confirmation of your DBS status.
Your availability.

Please also include a brief covering letter outlining your experience supporting neurodivergent children and why you feel you would be a good fit for the role.

References from previous childcare, education, or support roles will be required.

We are looking for someone who can build a genuine, trusting relationship over time, support interests and activities, and help create positive experiences while ensuring our daughter feels safe, understood, and accepted for who she is.

Pay: Up to £15.00 per hour

Benefits:

Casual dress

Application question(s):

What’s the most important part of caring for a child with PDA?

Work Location: In person
