He lives at home with his family and friendly dog. Training rate will be £16 and after training this will increase to £17. This ideally is a self-employed position (UTR number required). Or because of Visa requirements through and agency. Minimum of 26 hours per week. But can also be full time at 37 hours + per week. (It can not be on a 20 hour basis).

About the position Weekly hours minimum 26 hours. We are looking for someone to take on 2 regular waking nights (13hr each night shift so in total 26 hours) It would be Sunday and Monday nights or alternatively Thursday and Friday nights. These shifts are from 20.00 - 09.00 sole charge (but with parents in house). These shifts are only sole charge after extensive training. These are strictly waking nights in the family home.

After successful training the rate increases from £16 to £17 per hours. Per night shift: £221 after training. Bank holidays double rate. Ideally is a self-employed position with UTR number - no PAYE. This would suit a student of a relevant health related subject. But if PAYE is required (VISA requirement then this would either be through an agency (0 hour contract or time limited contract). Candidate would need to be able to commit to 12 months minimum. About the young person who needs support: The young man needs someone to spot seizures or other health emergencies and if needed call the parents who are in the same house. The monitoring is with seizure video monitor and heart rate monitor and regular in person checks.

It is exactly 26 hours minimum per week. We hope to find someone who has specific interest in special needs. It is not a summer job but we hope to find someone to commit for a minimum of 12months. That's why we would prefer someone who has studied a health related subject or will study a related subject eg Psychology, nursing or similar. One would need to be strong and fit to support and keep safe someone with a movement disorder. The suitable applicant would be flexible and be able to take on extra shifts from time to time.
