One-to-One Developmental & Learning Support — Larnaca area
We're a family looking for a warm, reliable and motivated person to provide one-to-one developmental support for our child — an 8-year-old boy on the autism spectrum (ASD).
This is broader than classroom teaching: it's hands-on developmental work — supporting his communication, learning, play, social skills, regulation and daily routines — following an individualised program, with full guidance and support from us.
The role
Day-to-day one-to-one work tailored to his individual profile, pace and interests.
Depending on the day, this includes:
- Structured learning at his level (early literacy and numeracy)
- Communication and speech practice (following his speech therapist's targets)
- Play, turn-taking and social skills
- Emotional regulation, and helping him stay calm and focused
- Daily routines and independence
- You'll follow and help develop an individualised program, keep simple progress notes, and shape a steady daily rhythm — short, focused sessions balanced with movement and breaks.
- You'll work as part of a small support team around him.
About you
- A relevant background or strong relevant experience — for example education, early-years, psychology, childcare, special-needs support, or therapy/learning assistance.
- A teaching or SEN qualification is a bonus, not a must.
- Most importantly: patient, calm, consistent, reliable, and genuinely warm with children.
- Willing to learn and to follow a structured, individualised approach — we provide the program, the guidance and ongoing support.
- Fluent English — familiarity with the UK curriculum / early-years framework is a plus.
- Able to provide verifiable references.
Schedule & pay (flexible by arrangement)
- Part-time: approximately 12:00 PM – 5:00 PM (5 hours/day), Monday to Friday — €700/month
- Full-time: approximately 11:00 AM – 7:00 PM (8 hours/day), Monday to Friday — €1,000/month
Based in the Larnaca area. Primarily a "come and go" role — but a live-in arrangement (accommodation provided) may also be possible by agreement, however, the rate of pay would be adjusted and please state in your message if your preference would be to live-out of live-in. Ongoing, long-term position that is set to evolve with time.
What we offer
- Formal employment with social insurance contributions paid — a proper, legal arrangement, not cash-in-hand
- A monthly salary of €700 (part-time) or €1,000 (full-time), by arrangement (live-in terms discussed on application)
- A rewarding, long-term role making a real difference to a child's development
