We are looking for a support worker / Carer to join the team around a 17 year old severely autistic & epileptic teenager with additional health needs. He lives at home with his loving family. He has 24 hour 1:1 support and for some activities 2:1 (like visiting the pool, special needs bike club, visiting the park or visiting shops and cafes). About the Teen: He is a friendly, non verbal, very autistic boy with severe epilepsy, a movement disorder and additional health needs. he is non verbal and can walk only with support. He needs help with all elements of his daily life. He does like to be active (but not in an athletic way) and he loves to be entertained. But he also often also needs a lot of care as he can have seizures which lead to him needing to spend time in hospital. His team of support workers / carers help him with his daily life & routine which includes supporting and facilitating access to activities and community, help him with learning more self help skills and communication, all of his personal care, help with his laundry and keep his environment clean & tidy. About you: This job will suit someone with good experience supporting a young person with disability and autism and has a real interest in disability and autism.

But this is not just about care but also very much about support and we would like to find someone who can be active, fun and shows initiative. You need to be following the behaviour plan which would explain to you. This could potentially suit a student of a related field as a part time position (but a full time position is also available).

You are open to work some weekends and some bank holidays (shared with the team) Both day and night shifts are available and we would prefer applicants who are open to both day and night shifts. Ideally you would be willing to commit for a minimum of 12 months or more. This is a job that could be very fulfilling and is well paid but it is also complex and would be difficult for someone who has no experience with disability. Please read this full ad before we discuss the position further. What’s great about this job: Fantastic training opportunities, with a thorough handover, from long-standing members of staff who know the young person and his family very well. You will be provided with regular training on his health and care needs which include seizure management, catheterisation and peg management and behavioural support. Regular team meetings with the ABA Consultant. Flexibility around days worked to accommodate studies or other commitments. About the Job: Hourly rate £15 p/h and which rises to £16 after 6 months of probation. Part time position - minimum of 24 hours +. (unfortunately 20 hours is not enough for this position). Full time position 35 hours +. Indicate if you are interested in Full time or Part time when you contact us. This position could be on a freelance basis with a UTR number (if you are part time and also if you are a student) otherwise there could be a full time contract with a care agency that supports the teenager. (we can not offer a Sponsorship Visa). If interested: If you are interested please apply and already initially let us know why you would be suitable. We get so many applications please help to make it easier and explain why you applied. We will then let you know where to send your CV and a relevant cover letter explaining your interest and suitability (a few sentences might be enough to get the point across (ideally written by you and not AI).

Feeling Included “people will forget what you said, people will forget what you did, but people will never forget how you made them feel” One question we ask when recruiting into our care team is “what do you want from your job”. A response we hear a lot is “I just want to fit in somewhere”. We all have a desire to be a part of something, to be a part of a group, to feel like we belong.
