Female Support Worker Required
We are looking for an experienced Support Worker/Personal Assistant with experience working with children/young adults with ASD. The role involves supporting a 17-year-old young lady to access arts and crafts and social opportunities for 8 hours per week.
Hours are mutually agreed upon, with occasional weekend hours, supporting her to engage in social activities. The schedule could include daytime hours and up to 3-4 hours per session.
Due to mobility issues, she sometimes uses a wheelchair. She may exhibit challenging behaviour, such as sitting on the floor and refusing to move. It is important to follow the clear and calm strategies in place to motivate her.
A clean driving licence and use of your own car with appropriate insurance are essential to transport her to social activities.
Good communication skills are essential to support her mother, who has a hearing impairment, and to manage situations effectively.
The rate of pay is £13 per hour. The position includes 4 weeks of paid holiday (pro-rata), bank holidays, and access to a workplace pension.
Due to the sensitive nature of this role, we are considering only female applicants in accordance with the Occupational Requirement (Equality Act 2010, Schedule 9, Part 1).
The post is subject to an enhanced DBS check, which will be provided if needed. The role will start once a clear check is received.
If interested, please send your CV to [emailprotected].
