This individual possesses autism, epilepsy, learning disabilities, and nonverbal communication. Your role will be instrumental in assisting him with daily activities, fostering a safe and nurturing environment where he can thrive.

About the Individual:

  • The young adult requires assistance with various tasks due to his cognitive/learning disabilities, epilepsy, and sensory sensitivities.
  • You will play a crucial role in administering first aid and emergency medication when necessary, ensuring his well-being during epileptic episodes.
  • Maintaining a smoke-free and perfume-free environment is essential for his health and comfort.

Your Responsibilities:

  • Provide personalized care, including assistance with toileting, bathing, dressing, and other daily living activities.
  • Prepare nutritious meals and assist with medication management, ensuring adherence to prescribed routines.
  • Contribute to a clean and organized home environment by assisting with household chores and light housekeeping tasks.
  • Develop a strong and trusting relationship based on empathy, respect, and understanding.
  • Actively monitor his mobility and provide support as needed within the home setting.

Flexibility is key in this role, as daily tasks may vary depending on the individual's needs. Your ability to adapt and respond effectively will be highly valued.

Essential Skills:

  • Demonstrate honesty, reliability, and punctuality in all your interactions.
  • Maintain strict confidentiality and respect his privacy at all times.
  • Work independently and collaboratively as part of a dedicated care team.
  • Follow instructions accurately and exercise patience when providing support.
  • Possess excellent listening and communication skills to effectively understand and respond to his needs.
  • Show genuine empathy and provide emotional support to enhance his well-being.
  • Previous experience in caregiving is beneficial but not essential, as comprehensive training will be provided.

Experience with epilepsy care is crucial, and a commitment to providing person-centered support is paramount.

Training:

Successful candidates will receive comprehensive training in Moving and Handling, First Aid, Epilepsy management, and other relevant areas. A caring attitude and willingness to learn are essential for success in this rewarding role. Possession of a NVQ 3 or Care Certificate is preferred.
