Summary
**A Carer/ Support worker for a young boy aged 9 living with Cerebral Palsy. **
**Based in the St Neots area, Cambridgeshire, PE19 **
**Up to £14.00 per hour**
About me:
I am a happy, bubbly little boy who enjoys going to school, swimming, soft play, watching TV, films especially C Beebies. I enjoy play fighting with my daddy and little brother. I love going out especially to restaurants and going out for walks in the countryside. I have a great sense of humour, with a wicked laugh. I love slap stick humour, but I can often understand more subtle adult humour. I am always laughing at one thing or another. I live at home with my mummy and daddy, my little brother Morgan and my pet Chihuahua Fletcher. I like routine, my home is my safe place. I am non-verbal although Im very chatty in my own way . I understand everything you are saying. My communication is limited but I do this by signing, pointing and by the use of my talker. I am non-mobile but I can commando crawl and shuffle about on the floor in the prone position. I have also managed to side sit which impresses my family. I use a wheelchair and can propel myself when I want to. My condition makes it harder for me to propel so I do get tired but I am getting better. I am not a fussy eater and this is something I am very good at. I can use a spoon but when Mummy is not looking I like to use my hands. I only drink water and milk. I do not have any allergies. My condition is a psychical disability. So, I need help with moving. I am working on my toileting and do use the toilet for a wee. I still wear nappies so I will need help with toileting and care needs. Things I do not like: I do have a slight Sensory disorder. My biggest struggle is with loud sudden noises. I do not like being near traffic especially motorbikes! I do not like Fairgrounds, flashing lights etc.
About the Job:
This is a real opportunity to support a beautiful young man to build confidence with strangers, the outside world and the chance to experience new things. Youll become a friend to magnificent treasure of a human being that brings joy and happiness to all he meets. To provide a support network to a family that doesnt have the family support available due to geography and age of relatives. To allow the family to be able to give time to Montys younger brother to do things they currently cannot do as Montys sensory needs make certain activities not possible. Youll have access to take Monty out in the families WAV and have full access to the familys house to hang with Monty. Montys condition is physical so there are no complex sensory needs bar the issue with loud noises. He likes nothing more than to chill at home after one excursion out. Whether thats a trip to the shop, swimming or a walk to the park. He is acutely aware of his surroundings and as long as his needs are met he is very easy to look after.
