SEN Rota Nanny (ASC and ADHD)
Overview
A busy and fully staffed family based in Knightsbridge is seeking an experienced and professional SEN Rota Nanny to care for their boy, aged 11. The successful candidate will bring specialist knowledge of Autism Spectrum Condition (ASC) and ADHD, combined with energy, warmth and a genuine sense of humour.
The house is well staffed and the primary focus of this role is the care and development of the child. The Rota Nanny will work as part of a wider nanny team — the child’s two younger siblings each have their own nannies — and will need to integrate seamlessly with the household team. A high degree of autonomy is required, as is the confidence to work on one’s own initiative while remaining a strong and collaborative team player.
The family also has three dogs, and previous experience or comfort with pets is a plus. Start date: June 2026.
