Job Summary

Recruiter: GreatAuPair (Job ID: 3675911)
Location: Hull, United Kingdom
Role Type: Full-time or Part-time; Live-in or Live-out
Family Heritage: Pakistani / Muslim
Client: 18-month-old toddler
Salary: Negotiable (Subject to UK Minimum Wage regulations)

Key Responsibilities

Because the mother works a rotating shift pattern, the role requires flexibility during “unofficial” hours:

Daily Care: Dressing, feeding, and managing the toddler’s routine while the mother is on duty.
Logistics: Picking up and dropping off the child at nursery during normal working hours.
On-Call Support: Being present when the mother is called to work outside of standard hours or during night shifts (staying near the sleeping child).
Household Help: Light housekeeping, kitchen tidying, and potentially grocery shopping or laundry.
Weekend Support: Providing an extra hand during the weekends as needed.

Requirements & Qualifications

Experience: The employer is open to candidates with 0 years of experience, prioritizing the right personality and cultural fit.
Driving: A valid driver’s license is required; a car is available for use.
Background Check: An Enhanced DBS check is mandatory for all childcare roles in the UK.
Character: Looking for someone “easy-going” and “chilled out” to match the family’s dynamic.
Visa/Right to Work: You must already have the right to work in the UK (e.g., Youth Mobility Scheme visa, UK Ancestry visa, or Settled Status).

[!IMPORTANT]

Warning: After Brexit, there is no specific “Au Pair Visa” for the UK. Candidates typically need a Youth Mobility Scheme visa (available to citizens of Australia, Canada, New Zealand, South Korea, etc.) or a Student Visa (limited to 20 hours/week).
