A fun loving, proactive and dedicated Support Worker required to work with a cheeky chap with quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy.
About the client: The client is 8 years old and lives at home with Mum, Dad, and his two younger sisters. He is a real character; an engaging, sociable, happy, and determined chap who strives for his independence. He leads a busy life and has a long list of hobbies and interests. He loves playing games, story times, music, and nursery rhymes, watching the footie with Dad. He has epilepsy and quadriplegic Cerebral Palsy, which affects his cognitive and physical abilities. He uses Eye Gaze Technology and PECs to support his communication. He is a wheelchair user and receives his fluid, nutrition (blended diet) and medication via a mini button PEG. He is supported on a 2:1 and 1:1 basis by his dedicated care team, providing around the clock support. Interests:
The Role
He attends school 4 days per week, and his Support Workers provide 2:1 care to him during his school day, to enable and facilitate learning and access to education, socialise with his peers, and participate in activities. He has an extensive therapy programme in place to support his rehabilitation (SLT, Physio, Dramatherapy, OT etc.) with training provided by his MDT. His programmes are implemented by his care team in a fun, imaginative and creative way throughout his week. As mentioned, he leads a busy life, with regular appointments, planned activities, events etc, and your role will be to support him with all of this along with his daily needs. We need a Support Worker who is dedicated to his development, supporting, and encouraging him to reach his full potential whilst continually promoting his independence. This position involves lots of play and interaction. He is reliant on others to meet all his health, care and medical needs and you will receive full training in all aspects of his care plan
Who this job would suit: A bubbly, energetic, proactive, positive, and lighthearted person that enjoys being a little bit silly and has a continuous supply of nursery rhymes and songs! You will have a great sense of humour, be physically fit, a team player and be intuitive.
What’s great about this job: Supporting this young man and having the opportunity to work with him is of course the best part of this role, however, his parents and MDT are extremely supportive and invest in his care team to continually upskill and provide excellent training opportunities.
