Support Worker & Carer for disabled teen

We are looking for a reliable and caring Personal Assistant / Support worker / learning support / carer for a disabled and autistic non verbal teenager with epilepsy, movement disorder and additional health needs. Ideally you are very interested in special needs and autism to join the very dedicated team of 6 around a young man. He lives at home with his family and dog. His team of Personal assistants / learning 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, provide 1 - 2 overnight support shifts per week (these are waking nights), and keep his environment and laundry clean & tidy. He is a friendly, non verbal, very autistic teenager. He needs help with all elements of daily life. He is developing his communication skills using picture exchange and gestures, such as pointing. When he is well he likes physical activities — like going not the pool, walks in parks, disability bike rides. He needs support with all of these activities as he also has a movement disorder. He also like to chill with his sister and dog and watch movies and join in Family meals. Unfortunately he often also needs a lot of care as he can have seizures which lead to him needing to spend time in hospital. He is home educated with an behavioural therapy programme due to his health needs. The programme is overseen by an ABA Consultant.

You would need to be willing to commit for a minimum of 12 months. We would prefer someone who can work with a UTR number on a self-employed basis and who can work a minimum of 35 hours per week.

During all activities (even while walking) he needs full support at all times. His health conditions can lead to him spending extended time in hospital. So we are seeking someone who can be fun but is also very patient as his time in hospital can be much more taxing and he will need much more support and care there.

The team also accompany him on holidays. They make sure that he can enjoy his live as much as possible.

About the position: This position includes day shifts as well as waking night shifts. Strictly waking nights. This has to be your only job. This is an opportunity to learn a lot and also to have a fulfilling job and working with a nice team. It is a household with a friendly dog. Only non-smokers & non vapers apply!

Later on we need 2 relevant professional references. Please when you first contact us add a few sentences why you are interested and a cover letter later-on and if you like the cover letter to be different from the other 80 applicants please write it without AI (It is so boring to read the same cover letter 80 times... please!) If all of the above sounds good to you then we would like to hear from you. Thank you.
