Support Worker & Carer for teenager (Day and Night)

We are looking for a support worker / carer to join the team around a 18 year old severely disabled & autistic & epileptic teenager with additional health needs. This ad is not through a company and not based in a care home but working directly with the young person in the context of his family. The young person has 24 hour 1:1 support and for some activities 2:1 support (eg. when visiting the pool, special needs bike club, visiting the park etc). His team of support workers / carers help him with all 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, his laundry and keep his environment clean & tidy. 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 25-37.5 hours weekly (this could include 1 waking night). 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. He also loves to be entertained - so who ever applies needs to 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. About you: This job will suit someone with some experience supporting a person with disability and autism and who has a real relevant interest too . You have also studied or are studying something that is related to this position. 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. This would suit a student of a related field (eg. Psychology, Nursing, SEN Pedagogy, Physio etc.) 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 (or most weekends if this suits you) and some bank holidays (shared with the team). You are open to accompany the young person on a summer break and support him. And are able to support also some days during the Christmas / New Years Break. Both day and night shifts are available and we want to find applicants who are open to both day and night shifts. Do please not apply if you do not want to cover waking night shifts at all or no day shifts at all. Also this is not a summer role but should be longterm. You would be willing to commit for a minimum of 12 months or more. This position is from mid August. You live in North London and do not have too far to travel. This is a job that could be very fulfilling but it is also complex and would be difficult for someone who has no experience or interest for disability and autism. Please read this ad completely before we discuss the position further. And please write a few sentences explaining why you are interested - so an honest cover letter. 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. You will be provided with regular training on his health and care needs which include seizure management, catheterisation, bowel and peg management and behavioural support. Regular team meetings with the ABA Consultant. Flexibility around days worked to accommodate studies or other commitments. Not a Care home Job and not similar. This position is very different from a care home position. About the Job: Hourly rate £15 p/h during 3 month training and probation (full probation is 6 months) - hourly rate then rises to £16 and after one year to £17 per hour. Part time & Full time available : Part time :25 -30 hr Full time: 37.5 hours + weekly hours (please let us know you availability in your cover letter). There are always extra bank hours additionally available (when team members are on holiday) if you needed more hours. This will ideally be your only job next to studies. Or if full time - it needs to be your only job. We would ideally want someone to start anytime between the 11th of August and the 1st of September. Some paid shadowing could be possible before these dates (in July). This position could ideally be on a freelance basis with a UTR number (if you are part time and also if you are a student). Otherwise a PAYE contract through a support worker agency if full time. We can unfortunately not offer a Sponsorship Visa. If interested: If you are interested please apply and already initially (first contact) let us know why you would be suitable and interested as otherwise we will not reply. We get so many applications please help to make it easier and explain why you applied. We will then let you know where to send your CV and a relevant cover letter explaining your interest and suitability or even better upload those to the thread at first contact. (a few sentences might be enough to get the point across (ideally written by you and not AI). 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. We will arrange a face to face interview or a video call (initially) after receiving your CV and relevant cover letter if we feel that you would be a good match for this position. We look forward to hearing from you.
