REF: CC/ABC

Spending time with his family, being outdoors enjoying nature and being with animals (especially his pet Labrador) is what our delightful 15-year-old client loves to do best. C is looking for a Support Worker to join his team to help him manage his athetoid cerebral palsy and severe dystonia. C is a wheelchair user, non-verbal and is fully dependent on others for all activities of daily living.

**The Role/Client**:

- C is looking for a Day Shift Bank Support Worker to join his growing team to help manage his athetoid cerebral palsy, severe dystonia (which affects his movements) and respiratory difficulties (when he is unwell). C is a wheelchair user and he is moved using hoists and slings. All day shifts are 2:1 care and you will work alongside another member of the team.
- C requires assistance with all activities of daily living including personal care, washing and dressing in the mornings and getting ready for bed.
- C has a blended diet and receives all fluids and medication via a PEG and Mic-key Button.
- He suffers painful reflux from his feeding tube so this needs to be managed and monitored carefully.
- C is non-verbal and uses facial expressions and some Eye Gaze to communicate and is able to express his likes and dislikes to his family and team.

**Duties**:

- You will assist with the planning of daily educational and age-related developmental activities.
- You will follow his care plan to provide basic physiotherapy-led exercises and positioning and assist with speech and language therapy and occupational therapy programmes as advised by the relevant therapists.

- You will be fun, energetic and a team player - as well as kind, positive, reliable, and able to build a relationship of trust with our client and his family.
- This role requires you to be a driver who is able to drive our client’s automatic vehicle. You would also need your own vehicle to get to our client’s rural location as it is not accessible via public transport or on foot.
- You will be comfortable working around animals as our client has a friendly Labrador dog, and not suffer from pet allergies.

- £16 per hour Weekdays
- £18 per hour Weekends
- £24 Bank Holidays (weekdays) £27 Bank Holidays (weekends)
