Position Overview

We are seeking a highly experienced and professional Governess / Personal Carer / Personal Trainer SEN Qualified Working with UHNW / UHNWI Family to support the education, development, behaviour and overall well-being of two young children aged 4 and 2 within a fully staffed UHNW private household.

This is primarily a governess and child-development role rather than a traditional nanny position. The successful candidate will take an active role in the children’s education, development, behaviour, routines and overall progression, working closely with the parents, school/nursery, nannies and wider household team. We are particularly interested in candidates who have SEN training or substantial professional experience supporting children with additional learning, behavioural, sensory, attention or developmental needs.

The ideal candidate will be warm and nurturing but also confident, structured and consistent. She should be capable of setting appropriate boundaries, encouraging independence and managing challenging behaviour calmly and effectively. The family travels regularly internationally, so flexibility and extensive travel experience are essential.

KEY RESPONSIBILITIES:

Education & Development

• Take responsibility for supporting the children’s educational and developmental progress.
  
• Support the 4-year-old with early literacy, phonics, reading, handwriting, numeracy and school-readiness skills.
  
• Reinforce learning from school through structured but enjoyable activities at home.
  
• Introduce the 2-year-old to developmentally appropriate early learning through play, books, language, music, sensory activities and exploration.
  
• Encourage curiosity, confidence, independence, concentration and a genuine enjoyment of learning.
  
• Identify areas where either child may require additional support and develop appropriate strategies.
  
• Select suitable books, educational resources, games and activities.
  
• Monitor developmental and educational progress and communicate regularly with the parents.
  

SEN & Behavioural Support

• Use an SEN-informed approach to support individual learning styles and developmental needs.
  
• Experience with areas such as attention and concentration, sensory needs, emotional regulation, behavioural challenges and executive-function development is highly desirable.
  
• Recognise triggers and patterns in behaviour and implement appropriate, consistent strategies.
  
• Help the children develop emotional regulation, patience, resilience and age-appropriate coping skills.
  
• Establish clear, calm and consistent boundaries.
  
• Use positive reinforcement and developmentally appropriate behaviour-management techniques.
  
• Adapt educational activities to maintain engagement without creating unnecessary pressure.
  
• Liaise with teachers, therapists or other professionals where required and implement recommended strategies consistently at home.
  
• Maintain discretion and sensitivity regarding all aspects of the children’s development.
  

School & Nursery Support

• Manage and oversee school/nursery preparation and routines.
  
• Ensure uniforms, bags, homework, reading books and necessary materials are organised.
  
• Liaise appropriately with teachers and school staff.
  
• Keep parents informed of important school communications, progress or concerns
