Support Worker Needed for 12-Year-Old in Radstock
£16.80 / £14 per hour - Radstock - BA3
We are seeking a support worker to assist our eldest son (12) in a caring family environment. He has an acquired brain injury with multiple sensory impairments and learning disabilities. Despite the complexities, he has a wonderful personality and brings joy to our daily lives with his cheekiness. This role is challenging, and no two days are the same.
He is supported by a round-the-clock team of staff (2-1) and receives night care. His support includes a schooling team (5 hours Monday to Friday) and a social care package.
His education is highly personalized, involving multi-agency therapy such as SALT, physiotherapy, OT, equine therapy, music, and hydrotherapy. Education is primarily home-based, with some learning sessions at Threeways.
We are looking for staff to join us for maternity cover starting from the end of April; an immediate start is preferred to help build relationships and trust.
The pay rate is currently set at £16.80 per hour for school hours (5 hours) plus 12 weeks holiday, and £14 per hour for social care duties. Various shifts are available.
Skills and Qualities Needed:
* Ability to make up songs spontaneously
* Good memory for reciting stories
* Ability to have fun even on a rainy day
If you're interested, please get in touch. Thank you!
