Peer Support Worker
1 week ago
We have an amazing opportunity to peer support a 14-year-old thrill seeker, who would love for his PS to join him in experiencing new adventures.
The PS would need to support me to access social activities due to my sight impairment. I am looking for someone adventurous, chatty, funny, and friendly. Who will be happy to take me to clubs like Krav maga and activities where I can meet other young people, test my fears by zip wiring, or go to music concerts? I attend a mainstream school where I am the only blind person, so I would love to go to clubs where I can meet other young people with the same challenges as I experience. Some experience working with someone with a sight impairment would be beneficial but is not necessarily as I can tell you what I need and want and can provide training where needed. General awareness and common sense are the most important factors.
I want to have fun and experience life like any other 14-year-old.
I will occasionally need some support at home to help me with homework tasks that are difficult for me due to my sight. I want to go out and about for social activities in my local area of Gravesend. Which includes attending different sporting clubs, dry sloops in Medway, shopping, etc.(but is not an exclusive list)
The use of a car and a clean driving license would be beneficial as using public transport is more difficult and takes longer to get anywhere, which is difficult with the number of hours I have available.
This post is funded by the local authority at 3 hours per week during term time, 5 per week in school holidays, but this may increase once they see the benefits for me. 4 weeks paid holiday (plus bank hols) pro rata. The rate of pay is £11 per hour.
My family is supported by Beams Support Brokerage Service.
