I am looking for a dynamic, vibrant support worker/personal assistant for my 22-year-old neurodiverse son to be a role model to help him develop his independence so he can navigate the world on his own in the future. His diagnosis of Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI), which can be changeable day to day, affects all aspects of his everyday life.
The role will involve supporting him to tackle day to day living tasks at home including food prep and correspondence, getting out and about to carry out social and leisure activities linked to his interests and supporting him to develop relationships with others. He will also need to become familiar with accessing public transport to get to places. This will involve working with him to plan his day, transport routes, helping him to budget, all the while monitoring risks in order to keep him safe. You need to be willing to undergo the training provided to learn specific strategies for CVI.
My son would probably describe himself as nerdy; he is intelligent, easy going but passionate about the things he is interested in. He enjoys history, culture, dungeons and dragons, the world, news, nature and animals. Participating in living history re-enactments is the highlight of his week. Someone with similar interests whom he can have in-depth simulating conversations with would be well suited for this role.
Duties include:
- Personal grooming
- Other relevant duties as required
- Administration
- Housekeeping
- Shopping
- Cooking
- Companionship
- Prompts and reminders with personal care
- Assistance with and support to develop budgeting skills
- Work alongside to plan his time, including planning routes to places using public transport
- Undertake required Cerebral Visual Impairment (CVI) training
Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Creative
- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard
- Must be comfortable with pets
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
Additional requirements
Non-smoker preferred or someone willing to refrain from smoking during working hours
Notes:
All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required.
Please note, if you are successful in your application for this position, you will be either engaged directly or employed by the individual employer and not by Independent Lives. The role may be offered on an employed or self-employed basis, depending on the suitability and agreement with the employer. If the role is employed, you will be entitled to holiday pay and issued an employment contract.
