JMM Household
Full Time London, England 15 GBP HOURLY Today
Job description

Would you like to be part of a very dedicated team around a friendly 15 year old disabled teenager who lives at home with his family and dog. He is a friendly, non verbal, very autistic boy with severe epilepsy and additional health needs. He needs help with all elements of daily life.

We are looking for a full time support worker / carer / waking night support & learning support. 38 hours (often more) per week. Hourly rate £15. 28 days of paid holidays when working full time (extra paid holidays for every bank holiday worked).

This position includes both waking nights as well as day shifts.

You need to be strong and fun as well as reliable. Experience with disabled teenagers / children and autism is preferred.

You would need to be willing to commit for a minimum of 12 months. We hope to find someone who is open to work some weekends and some bank holidays too (shared with the team).

If you are still interested please read on and please make sure to submit a current CV plus a relevant explanation why you are interested in this specific position (cover letter).

His team of support workers / carers help him with his daily life & routine which includes supporting and facilitating access to activities and community, help him with learning more self help skills and communication, all of his personal care, provide 1 - 2 overnight support shifts (these are waking nights) per week, and keep his environment tidy.

When he is well he likes physical activities — like going not the pool, walks in parks, disability bike rides. He needs support with all of these activities as he also has a movement disorder.

He also like to chill with his sister and watch movies and join in Family meals.

Unfortunately he often also needs a lot of care as he can have seizures which lead to him needing to spend time in hospital. He has also other health needs.

He is home educated with an behavioural therapy programme due to his health needs. The programme is overseen by an ABA Consultant.

You will be provided with regular training on his health needs, care needs, and behavioural support. The training is provided by the experienced team members as well as his ABA therapist.

This might be a good position for someone who has a keen interest in disability, psychology, nursing and the position could suit a part time student of a relevant field.

It is also an opportunity to learn a lot and to be part of a very nice supportive team.
