Driffield, United Kingdom HomeCare Direct Full time

**This vacancy is for a Personal (Care) Assistant**

Home Care Direct are industry-leading specialists in personalisation. We help a wide variety of people to take control over their care at home using personal budgets, personal health budgets, direct payments or their own funding.

**_
Vacancy Summary:_**

We are looking to recruit a part-time personal (care) assistant to a young man with special needs, autism and limited mobility.

He lives at home with his family in the Driffield area and you will be required to support him at home in the rural village setting where he lives.

He enjoys cooking, baking, crafts, drawing, board games, pool, riding out on his scooter, photography, animals, wildlife, shopping and collecting Marvel and Dc memorabilia.

He does require some personal care but there is no moving and handling involved.

**_
About me:_**

I have many hobbies. I like basketball, watching WWE wrestling, playing Wii games, collecting Marvel character figurines and scrap booking. I also like to go into the community on my mobility scooter and go shopping when the weather is good. I have high scale autism so I like my routine to remain the same. I am not able to drive a car therefore my mum and my step-dad transports me wherever I need to go in the van as this accommodates my mobility scooter.

I have Downs Syndrome, high scale autism, thyroid problems & Chondromalacia which affects my mobility. I require support & guidance to enable me to mobilise safely as I experiences numerous falls as a result of my Chondromalacia, this causes my knees to lock up & give way. I am generally aware when I am due to experience a fall and as a result the majority of my falls are ‘soft falls’.

**_
What support I need:_**

happy to repeat a phrase if not understood.

**About you and our requirements**:
We are seeking someone flexible who can also cover holidays and sickness when required and be able to change hours with some notice.

Kindness, empathy and understanding are far more important than experience, ongoing training will be given.

The post is 1.5 miles outside Driffield town.

This post is exempt under The Equality Act 2010 Schedule 9 Part 1 - there is a genuine occupational requirement to recruit
**female** support workers only.

An enhanced DBS disclosure is required for this vacancy (expense met by HomeCareDirect)
