He lives with his mummy, daddy, and little brother. His gran who apart from being his lovely gran is also his lead support worker. He enjoys books, arcades, loves fast rides, bright lights, and the buzz of hustle and bustle. Harry has quadriplegic cerebral palsy and is completely dependent on his caregivers to meet all his care needs, and he can eat orally (small bites). He has epilepsy, which is managed with medication, though Harry may occasionally experience subtle absences which can look like brief moments of daydreaming. He is cognitively very alert and can become frustrated when not feeling he is being understood or would like to be involved and do things for himself. He uses his wheelchair full time so loves when he can get down on to the floor and cosy up on the sofa. Harry is just starting full-time at Pace Centre School, (Conductive Education) having previously attended the nursery there for a couple of years. The Role at a Glance: Harry will be dressed and ready for pick-up each morning. As his support worker your role will include driving Harry and his Gran to school on designated mornings and collecting him again at 2:00 pm.

On Fridays, a longer shift is required to accompany Harry and his Gran to Hippotherapy, which begins at 9:00 am and finishes at 10:30 am, with a return home and settled-in time by 12 noon. Harry’s Gran is his main carer and takes responsibility for his personal care. Initially, this role focuses on supporting her in getting Harry to and from school safely, with a kind and collaborative approach that ensures Harry’s transitions are smooth and safe. There will be the potential for increased involvement over time. This Job Would Suit: A Support worker who is warm and patient, who can be 100 % reliable and most importantly, be keenly responsive to Harry’s emotional and physical needs. For this role, a clean full UK licence is essential. Why You’ll Love This Role: This will be a truly rewarding role for someone with an interest in Therapy/Conductive Education and who genuinely wants to support Harry in his journey toward greater independence.
