About Me
I’m an 11 year old boy and live in Fownhope with my family, I have Autism as a result I have a sensory over load when there are unexpected noises or excess wating or queuing times. As a result of this I can display challenging behaviour and lash out. It’s important that you keep me safe during these episodes and work with me and my family on how to calm me down and help regulate my behaviour.
I like to walk in the woods and go out in the community, however these trips are usually short as I get overwhelmed. When I get to know people, I am very chatty and love to laugh.
Job details
Your role is to support me to attend activities. And support me to manage when I become distressed by the sensory overload.
When we are out you will be required to keep me safe at all times as I can run off and have no sense of danger when I am overwhelmed.
About You
Previous experience of similar work is desirable but not essential, as I will make sure you get the training you need.
Ability to calm a difficult situation, good sense of humour and patience are all required for this role.
You must also be able to understand the importance of confidentiality.
You will need to be a car driver/owner and be physically fit enough to undertake any manual handling needed.
About Direct Payments
Direct payments are available from Local Authorities for people who have a care and support plan in place following a social care assessment. An amount of money is allocated to purchase the assistance and care needed to live independently.
I should stress that my Mum will be your employer and have full responsibility for recruitment, contracts, supervision, pay, training etc. A support service assists her in meeting her responsibilities as an employer.
Salary: This is a flat rate of pay that takes account of unsociable hours and weekend working.
Hours: These are the minimally contracted hours. If I require additional support at other times I will try to give as much notice as possible, an ability to be flexible would be an advantage
