We are looking for a female Carer/support worker for a teenager with complex health and disability needs. Must be kind, love working with children with additional needs. Medication will need to be administered, personal cares and other duties. All at our home. This will be alongside parents so being able to work with others is key. Must also be able to carry out tasks using your own initiative as well.
Experience preferable in the care community but not a must. As long as you have the intention to learn and a keen interest in this area and working with Learning disabilities.
Must be able to fill a.m. hours 8 a.m. -10 a.m. 2 mornings a week; Mondays for definite and Tuesdays or Wednesdays. If the hours aren't enough please don't apply as they are stated as needed. Some extra shifts may come up for holiday cover but can never be guaranteed.
Staff needed for the morning shifts to help get ready for school, administer personal care and medications and change button feed to water feed for the day.
From time to time a school drop off may be necessary so a driver is needed.
About Us:
We are a family of four, and are looking for kind and consciences people to work with us to support our daughter here in the home. She is nearly 16 and has all the needs of a 16 year old which need more than one pair of hands. She is outgoing and loves people, loves school and therefore we need support to get her there. We've not lived here too long but moved here so that our daughter has the space to meet her needs. We're friendly and approachable and have 5 current members of staff, the newest member has now been with us 3 years, the longest has been with us for 10 years now. The nature of the job allows for it to work around other work more often than not. All of our staff have other jobs. Wherever possible we work round that.
Our daughter loves people and we're looking for someone she can build up a relationship with, this is not a temporary job as the training up for it to be able to independently do it will take a while.
A personal letter alongside CV is preferred.
Non smokers as both our children have Cystic Fibrosis and it would be a health risk of cross contamination.
