London, United Kingdom JMM Household Full time

Would you like to be part of a very dedicated team around a friendly 16 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 his daily life.

**About you**:
This job will suit someone with good experience supporting a young person with disability and autism.

You need to be open to the care elements in this job or have already some care experience but this is not just a care job but also very much about support and we would like to find someone who can be active, fun and shows initiative and really needs to be quite fit to support a teenager with a movement disorder.

This could potentially suit a student of a related field as a part time position (30+ hours). It would suit someone who is creative, very open minded and enthusiastic. Also you need to like dogs. You need to be able to swim (requirement).

You will be dedicated and committed. Need to be fun and responsible. A non-smoker / vaper. Not afraid to learn care elements like catheterization and dealing with PEG (ideally you have experience already - otherwise we train you). Strong interest in disability and autism.

You would 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).

You should be happy to support the young person with his family for occasional weekends away and on his yearly summer holiday (usually for 1 week).

Ideally you would also take on a weekly waking night support shift and occasionally more..

**What’s great about this job**:
Fantastic training opportunities, with a thorough handover, from long-standing members of staff who know the young person and his family very well.

You will be provided with regular training on his health and care needs which include seizure management, catheterisation and peg management and behavioural support. Regular team meetings with the ABA Consultant.

Flexibility around days worked to accommodate studies or other commitments.

If you are still interested please read on.

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, help with his laundry and keep his environment clean & tidy (but this is not a cleaning position).

**About the friendly autistic teen**:
He lives with his loving and supportive family, who recognise that his team of support workers & carers are instrumental in his overall development and well being.

When he is well he likes physical activities — like going to the pool, walks in parks, disability bike rides and going to cafes for hot chocolates.

He needs support with all of these activities as he also has a movement disorder.

He also likes to chill with his sister and watch movies and join in family meals. Ideally you are someone who has initiative and can also come up with suitable activities.

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.

**About the job**:
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.

30 - 35+ hours per week ( depending on applicant - if part time or full time).

Hourly rate £16 p/h after probation

(during probation and training £15).

Probation 24 weeks.

28 days of paid holidays when working full time (extra paid holidays for every bank holiday worked).

Later on we will need 2 relevant recent references and a valid DBS.

(please understand that we can not reply without a cover letter explaining your suitability to this specific position).

We look forward to hearing from you.
