Folkestone, United Kingdom We Are Beams Full time

PA/SUPPORT WORKER REQUIRED (Folkestone)

We are seeking a dedicated, experienced PA/support worker for up to 8 hours per week to assist a 16 year old young lady to access school social opportunities at the weekend and during school holidays.

Occasionally she struggles to access school transport, so It would be a bonus to have some periodic availability during the week to help her access school transport. This could be up to 2 hours in the morning but is not the main requirement. This part of the role could be performed by a separate person who wants occasional weekday hours. This might suit someone who has just taken their own children to school and could then help. Time could be anything from 8.30 - 11am to suit.

Due to mobility issues, she does use a wheelchair sometimes. She can exhibit some challenging behaviour when she does not want to do something, normally sitting on the floor and refusing to move, so it is important to follow the clear and calm strategies which are in place and work well to motivate her.

A clean driving licence and use of your own car is essential to be able to take her to social activities.

Mum has a hearing impairment, and this makes it difficult for her to manage the situation well, so being able to support mum and communicate clearly is really important.

Rate of pay is £13 per hour. 4 weeks paid holiday (pro rata) plus bank holidays is applicable, as is access to a workplace pension.

**Job Types**: Part-time, Permanent

Pay: £13.00 per hour

Expected hours: 8 per week

**Benefits**:

- Casual dress

Schedule:

- Monday to Friday
- Weekend availability

**Experience**:

- support Worker: 1 year (required)

Licence/Certification:

- Driving Licence (preferred)

Work Location: In person

Reference ID: LoBal/KD
