A caring and supportive personal assistant is required for a gentle, humorous, happy and lively teenage boy living in the St. Dennis area near St. Austell.
He has ASD, is non-verbal, and will require some personal care. He would like someone who he can build up a positive relationship with and provide him with some 1:1 support. He occasionally uses a wheelchair when he is out and about but only because of fatigue.
He would like someone to support him with his communication and social skills out in the community. He loves being outdoors. His interests are computers, his iPad, food and going swimming and visiting parks.
A personal assistant will enable him to enjoy activities in his local community, gaining independence away from his family.
The role is part-time, with 9 hours per week available, although this is very flexible. Weekend and school holiday availability will be required.
The hourly rate is £13.00, plus mileage allowance.
A driving licence and access to your own vehicle, with business use insurance, is preferable.
Experience or knowledge of working with young people with SEND is essential.
The successful applicant will be employed under a private arrangement with the family, and not be employed or carry out work for Cornwall Council.
We are committed to safeguarding and promoting the welfare of children and young people. All offers of employment will be subject to the successful candidate undertaking an enhanced DBS check, the administration process will be undertaken by Cornwall Council.
