Why find work with us?
Excellent Rate Of Pay
Sennie Compensation Details:
-
Hourly gross rate ranges from £15 to £20 depending on the role and prior experience in SEN childcare.
-
If you possess specialized qualifications, we can negotiate a higher rate of up to £25 per hour gross with our families/clients.
-
Please keep in mind that many roles offer a salary increase after one year of service. The top end of the salary range in job descriptions reflects the potential growth rather than the initial offer.
Most roles are pro-rata and offer an annual salary based on your agreed hourly rate. We often support our families in calculating your working hours over the year (including school holidays hours if required) so you are paid the same amount each month but based on your agreed hourly rate.
Permanent roles:
-
Families select you through our introduction process, and you will work directly for the chosen family.
-
The best part? You keep 100% of your pay!
-
You will be employed by the family, forming a direct employment relationship with them.
Part-time roles:
-
We will identify the perfect Sennie for the role and provide comprehensive training and support.
-
The specific hourly rate for the role will be communicated to you, typically ranging between £15-£19 per hour gross.
-
Please note that your hourly rate on your payslip will be inflated to include additional fees associated with your employment, which will be covered by the family. For instance, if your agreed rate is £17 per hour, your payslip may show £18.50 to ensure that you are not responsible for any fees deducted from your agreed salary.
-
-
It's important to clarify that the family is not your employer. Instead, you will be employed by our trusted partner who will ensure that you receive all employment rights, including SSP, annual leave, and maternity benefits.
-
Additionally, our partner offers a range of perks, such as discounts on leisure activities, to enhance your overall experience.
-
You will be required to sign a timesheet, and we will ensure that prompt payment is made to you for your services.
