Worcester, United Kingdom Services for Independent Living Full time

P.A required to support adult with Downs syndrome and Autism

21 hours per week, Monday, Wednesday Friday 9:30-4:30

Sam has Down’s Syndrome and is autistic. He has some understandable language skills but a lot of it is not. He talks a lot, repeats a lot and is mostly a happy and engaging adult of 38 years of age (he looks like a teenager). He is very creative and loves painting, pottery, walking, animals and meeting new people. He loves to amuse and people tend to like him very much.

**Job details**
- Hobbies and social activities_

Taking Sam out and about as much as possible, walking, gardens, shopping, places where he can do some painting or pottery. He loves singing, dancing, panto etc. He loves all animals, babies and children and going out for lunch and is well known locally.

Our other care provider has kindly offered help to give support and help to understand Sam a bit better. I think this is a great idea to make the transition a bit smoother for Sam as this will be such a big change for him. It would be good to have familiar faces around him.
- Personal care._

He mostly looks after himself very well. He would be bathed, shaved etc. before your arrival. He selects his own clothes, he would need you to select a suitable jacket. We would need you to go into a disabled toilet with him however just in case he cannot get out
- Housekeeping_

Half an hour a day helping with his washing and tumble drying would be a great help to me probably best done by coming back to the house half an hour before leaving time. Sam has his own sitting room and a quick tidy up would be appreciated too.
- Preparation and cooking of some meals_

Make sandwich at lunchtime if not going out for lunch. Sam does require plenty of drinks of Ribena due to historical urinary tract problems.

**About You**

It would be helpful if you have worked with autistic adults in the past or have had some training and understand autism. Sam is mostly lovely to be with but he does have trigger points where he can be very verbal and throw things around. If he is very anxious he will be sick (rare). If in an extreme temper he will lash out - this is extremely rare, never more than once a year at worst. Being able to anticipate a problem and avoiding it is the most satisfactory result. We need you to be kind, patient and calm and have a good sense of humour.

You will need to be a car driver/owner and be suitabley insured to take Sam in the car for your work.

**About Direct Payments**

Direct payments are available from Local Authorities for people who have a care and support plan in place following a social care assessment. An amount of money is allocated to purchase the assistance and care needed to help Sam have a more enriching life.

I should stress that I will be your employer and have full responsibility for recruitment, contracts, supervision, pay, training etc. A support service assists me in meeting my responsibilities as an employer.

**Salary**: This is a flat rate of pay that takes account of working on Bank Holidays (excluding Christmas and New Year of course) as missing his normal days severely puts his life out of kilter and he can then be difficult for us at home.

**Hours**:These are the contracted hours. Very rarely additional support at other times would be helpful and if you can help me that would be great. There is of course paid holiday. We would ask that one week of the holiday you take coincices with Sam being away.

**Job Type**: Part-time
Part-time hours: 21 per week

**Salary**: £12.00 per hour

Work Location: One location

Application deadline: 17/03/2023
