Summary
Personal Assistant (PA)/Support Worker
Job ref. PUR-549-432
About the Direct Payment Holder We are looking for a Support Worker to spend time with our 10 year old son to help him broaden his circle of friends he can trust, A only talks to his parents but it is hoped this will change with confidence and age. A has a diagnosis of ASD, anxiety and learning difficulties.
A enjoys walking, playing on the swings, kicking a football around, going out for food, playing with superheroes, wearing scary zombie masks, drawing and baking.
A enjoys shopping, especially if it involves chocolate but would be upset if people he didn’t know interacted with him.
Hours and rate of pay hours Flexible hours 75 available to be used at weekends @ £15 per hour
Location Eaton Ford, St Neots, PE19
DBS/Checks Confirmation of Enhanced DBS check
Right to Work and references will be needed.
What you would be doing… Depending on the weather, indoor days would be playing with Adam and his toys or make-believe games. Listening to him if he talks and learning to understand his needs, baking cakes together, teaching him how to help with housework.
Outdoor days would be kicking a football in the par, running and chasing games in the park, nature walks visiting shops in town.
A is physically fit, but he does tip-toe unless corrected. He can use the toilet independently but might need reassurance and some assistance with cleaning himself, he cannot be left alone due to his anxiety.
Required skills and experience Experience in a SEND environment would be preferred.
If you can drive with access to your own vehicle with appropriate insurance that would be great but is not essential.
The ideal candidate would be caring, softly spoken, patient and understanding with a willingness to embrace unusual behaviours, have a cape and super powers especially like Maui from Moana; the Demi-God who can change into different animals!
Please send a CV (with 2 references) and a covering letter explaining why you would suit this role. Thank you.
