Are you interested in engaging in meaningful work that fosters emotional satisfaction, personal development, and community involvement?
A young individual in Melton Mowbray is seeking assistance to enhance their quality of life.
Responsibilities
Your role will involve providing support with:
- community activities such as swimming, trike rides, and outings to parks.
- personal care tasks including changing continence products, bathing, and dressing.
The client enjoys engaging in action songs, using cause and effect toys, swimming, participating in community activities, listening to music (especially pop), playing the drum kit, and exploring sensory experiences.
Due to a lack of risk awareness, the client requires 2:1 support for all community access and personal care. The current Personal Assistant or parent will provide assistance as needed.
The client has been diagnosed with autism, Down syndrome, acquired brain injury, and hypermobility, and may exhibit some challenging behaviors. Communication is facilitated through Makaton, along with some speech and body language. Sensory needs are also present.
Mobility is a challenge for the client, who has a wide gait that is unsteady and uses a wheelchair for community access and longer distances. When in their wheelchair, they may grab at nearby individuals or objects. A specific harness is required for safety. Non-compliance may occur, and the client may drop to the ground and refuse to move.
The client experiences visual impairment and wears glasses, which complicates their ability to navigate different levels and surfaces.
The current Personal Assistant will collaborate with a second caregiver as necessary.
This position is ideal for someone who is responsible, dependable, patient, and respectful of others' privacy, dignity, values, and beliefs. You may find this role suitable if you are re-entering the workforce after caring for a family member or friend.
Genuine applicants only please. An enhanced DBS certificate is required for this role.
For further information or an informal discussion, please contact:
Tracy Smith
Please remember to quote reference number TS690183 as part of your application.
