I’m a 15-year-old girl who sustained a brain injury at birth. I have complex needs, including cognitive difficulties, cerebral palsy and autism. I am looking for an enthusiastic, fun, patient and reliable Support Worker to help me engage in the activities I love and to become more independent. I attend a special school but only require additional support outside of school hours, enabling me to take part in social activities. I require some assistance with personal care.
I will always help you to help me, as I will tell you what I like, and I don’t like. Trying something new can make me a bit nervous, so I will need a bit of extra support on those occasions. I am currently thoroughly enjoying going to the local gym and attending other local activities.
During school holidays your hours are likely to increase to provide extra support at home and to accompany me on day trips.
This role is subject to an Enhanced level DBS check. xkybehq Full induction and training will be provided.
To join me as a Support Worker you will need to: –
* Have a full UK driving licence and have use of a car
* Have experience of working with children
* Be willing to register with Social Care Wales
Work directly for our client and not an agency (unlike most agency work you will spend quality time with your client which can make a real difference)
* Great opportunity for professional development
* Bespoke client induction and training
* Ongoing support and supervision from the dedicated Case Manager
