Disability Support Worker for disabled young man

Job Description We are looking for a support worker / carer to join the nice and very professional lovely team around a young friendly disabled man who lives at home with his family and dog. The young man has very complex health needs and is non verbal. Ideally you can take on 2 waking nights and 2 day shifts (minimum of 37.5 hours or more per week). This is a full time position. We would ideally hope to find someone who is flexible to occasionally take on extra shifts. The existing team is fair with each other to also cover equal time covering some weekends and holidays like Christmas and of course cover for each other during their colleagues holidays and if one of the team is ill. The perfect candidate for this position would be someone who has a strong interest in working with a very friendly disabled young man. Is openminded and does not mind to learn. This position could suit student of a related subject like nursing, psychology, physiotherapy, social work etc. The waking night shifts are to keep him safe and take care of all health needs and alert the parents in case of a seizure or if there is any other emergency. Each waking night shift is 13 hours long. 20.00 -09.00. We feel consecutive nights work best. We need to cover either Thursday & Friday or Sunday & Monday or Tuesday & Wednesday. Let us know in your application which nights work best for you and if you are interested in only covering 2 regular nights (26 hours per week) next to studies or if you are interested in the full time position (2 regular waking nights plus 2 day shifts). Day shifts are mostly 8 hours long (sometimes a bit longer). Day shifts start either at 8.30 or at 13.30 for the afternoon shift. The candidate needs to be physically really fit & strong with good balance and not too petite as the young person needs a lot of support as he has a movement disorder, severe epilepsy, profound autism, is non verbal and has other health needs additionally but likes to walk (and this with a lot of support). Training through shadowing will be provided. Most training in the first few weeks will be solely during daytime until confident enough to take on night shadowing. We would like to find someone who can accept this position as their only job. This position is very different from care home jobs as it is in his home with his family. About the young person He is a very friendly and active profoundly autistic young man / teenager who is non verbal. He is very friendly and not aggressive. He can walk short distances but only with a lot of support, otherwise he is in a wheelchair. His communication is mainly through pointing and pictures of reference and he is taught life skills with ABA principles. We will train you in behaviour therapy (ABA) and would expect you to follow our training. There are regular team meetings and you would attend those meetings too. He sometimes is also tired and unwell after a seizure or other illness and will then just need care and nurturing and patience. Sometimes he has to be in hospital and a member of his team would be there with him - so waking nights could also be at hospital. As he has a movement disorder he needs a lot of physical support. He lives with his family and also a dog. During the night you would have to be awake and vigilant and alert the family in case of a seizure. The nights are strictly waking and can easily turn into quite active nights when there is a health problem and the young man often needs to go to hospital then. For the correct candidate this is a good opportunity to learn. During the day his team needs to follow a clear health regime and also make sure he lives a fulfilled life - being in the community - cafes, pub lunches, visiting shops, going to the park, riding a disability bike and going to splash in the pool. The team also accompany him on holidays with his family. About You: Please let us know in your own words why you are interested or what experience you have - this helps us to understand if we can work together (please write in your own words and no AI :) Please understand we have to read so many CVs We would ideally hope to find someone who can be a bit flexible with the young person’s and his family’s schedule. We would like to find someone who has worked with special needs people before or is studying a related field. Preferably someone to work with a UTR number on a self-employed basis but if you needed a PAYE for visa reasons then this could be provided through a care agency we work with. You would need to be able to appreciate a person who has profound autism and treat him with dignity and kindness. You would be assisting him with everyday skills as well as bathing, toileting and sometimes assisting with a late dinner. If you have experience with intermittent catheterisation, Peristeen system as well as PEG feeding then that is an advantage but we can easily also train those skills too. (Please research all terms you are unsure about before you apply). When working a waking overnight shift you will need to make sure that he is safe and alert parents in case of a seizure. Before and after a waking night you need to be able to rest. We would not consider someone who has a second job. This position also involves keeping his environment generally tidy and clean and help with his laundry. You should be responsible, cheerful, honest and very reliable, physically strong and healthy as he needs a lot of support. The team needs someone who can be flexible and sometime cover for other people in the team if they are away on holidays or ill. Ideally you are • able to commit for minimum a year., • Invoice at the end of every month, • Able to work legally in the UK, • A non smokers and non vaper., • dog friendly, • able to swim, • able to bicycle, • fit and able to walk distances pushing a wheelchair, • able to speak and write in English and communicate well with health professionals, • able to work some weekends and some days (or nights) at Christmas, • fit enough to support someone with a movement disorder., • able to take on training and advice by experienced team and family., • based in London - ideally north London. The pay rate if you work as a selfemployed person with a UTR number is £16 during training (£206 per night during training and probation) this increases to £17 per hour after completion of training (£221 per night after successful training and review). The pay rate increases to £18 per hour after successfully working with the young man for a minimum of 12 months (depending on review). You would have to commit to a minimum of 12 months. Gross income as a selfemployed person at minimum 37.5 hours per week would be £32,850 (if you took 6 weeks per year off for holidays). If you required a PAYE position - this can be provided by a care agency and the payrate hen would be £15 for training and then subsequently after training £16 per hour. Please: When you initially make contact - write a few sentences why you think this is a position that is interesting to you and why you are suitable as we otherwise will not know if we should arrange to speak. Also please • send post a recent CV with dates of education and work experience, • lateron we need your enhanced DBS and relevant references Please be aware that we can not offer sponsorship.
