Begin the matchmaking
We will send you SENNIES PROFILES that we believe meet your family’s need.
From experience, working within the special needs sector requires the right qualities and characteristics as well as hands-on experience.
If you do not like a profile we send, please give us as much feedback as possible so we don't send you more Sennies of this calibre and learn your preference.
We believe in quality over quantity and will only send you candidates we believe are worth your time and consideration, highlighting our preferred profiles.
Interviews
We will work with each family to coordinate interviews for Sennies under consideration.
Regardless of your preference in terms of face to face, telephone or video interviews, we will help make this process seamless and enjoyable!
Our recommendation is to have SENNIES complete the first interview on your behalf, then meeting face to face with successful Sennies and finally inviting them to a trial.
We allow a maximum of 2 days for a SENNIES trial. All trials are paid at £10 p/h directly to the Sennie.
Hire the perfect Sennie
Once you make a verbal offer that is accepted by a Sennie, we will send you your final invoice and offer you help and advice for your contact of employment.
Your initial commitment fee is deducted from your final invoice.
SENNIES understands the importance of providing both families and Sennies with clear guidelines to encourage open communication from the start of this special relationship. Therefore we encourage you to provide your Sennie with a separate 'House Rules' document.
We serve as a continued source of support and advice for both you and your Sennie.
We can recommend a number of organisations that make hiring a Sennie seamless, such as help with payroll and pensions.
Finally, all placements come with a free 'after care' gift purchased by SENNIES, which consists of virtual support in the first month of employment or a bespoke/group training session (depending on your placement type) for your Sennie. This is led by our incredible partner Vicky Brewer, who also offers bespoke family sessions and Sennie training at a reduced rate to the Sennies community.
Commitment Fee
Once we receive your Vacancy Registration Form, we require a £500 Commitment Fee to begin your search.
In the unlikely scenario we do not send you any Sennies to review within 8 weeks, then we refund a percentage of your Commitment fee. Please feel free to read our terms and conditions for more information.
