Support Worker & Carer for teenager (Day and Night)

We are looking for a support worker / carer to join the team around an 18 year old severely disabled & autistic & epileptic teenager with additional health needs. We are looking to find someone who will be happy to do day shifts as well as waking night shifts. This position would be for 25 hours per week (part time if you are a student) - 37.5 + hours per week (and often more if you wanted to work full time). This could include regular waking nights - depending on the applicant. You are legally able to work in the Uk (possibly even self-employed with a UTR number.) Hourly rate £16 per hour (during induction and training £15). You will have to have clear interest in working with disabled and level 3 autistic people. You will have experience working with young people with disabilities and it would suit a student of a related field (eg. Psychology, Nursing, SEN Pedagogy, Physio etc.) Good english required. You need to be also quite fit to support someone with a physical disability. When you apply - please write a few sentences to begin the conversation and let us know why you applied. Please submit a Cover letter (not AI written) as well and your current CV and 2 references. You need to be able to swim - this is important to him and a must for this job. Only non-smokers / non vapers apply! You like dogs and are not afraid of a friendly dog. You are open to work some weekends and some bank holidays (shared with the team). About the Teen: He is a friendly, non verbal, very autistic young man with severe epilepsy, a movement disorder and additional health needs. He can walk only with support. The young person lives at home with his family. He needs help with all elements of his daily life. Although he does like to be active this is not in an athletic way. During these activities (even while walking) he needs quite a bit of support at all times. He also loves to be entertained - so who ever applies needs to be quite fit and strong and fun but also patient. He often also needs a lot of care as he can have seizures or other heath issues which lead to him needing to spend time in hospital. When he is in hospital he needs more care and patience. You are not afraid to learn care elements like catheterisation and dealing with PEG and Peristeen (ideally you have experience already and other elements of care - otherwise we train you). You need to be following the behaviour plan (ABA) which we would explain to you and you would be required to attend the team meetings with our ABA Consultant and the rest of the experienced team. You are open to accompany the young person on a summer break and support himand ideally also some days during the Christmas / New Years Break (sheared between team). You are also flexible enough to be the second person in the house when the parents need to be away for work or travel. Both day and night shifts are available and we want to ideally find applicants who are open to both day and night shifts. You would be willing to commit for a minimum of 12 months or more. This position starts in September. Please do not apply if you do not plan to commit for a minimum of a year. You live in North London and do not have too far to travel. 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. Regular team meetings with the ABA Consultant. Flexibility around days worked to accommodate studies or other commitments. About the Job: Hourly rate £16 p/h (£15 during 3 month training and probation) - and after one year to £17 per hour. Part time & Full time available : Part time: 25 -30 hr Full time: 37.5 hours and often more (please let us know you availability in your cover letter). We can unfortunately not offer a Sponsorship Visa. Also let us initially know your availability and if you are interested in part or full time. Later on we will need 2 relevant recent references and a valid DBS.
