An opportunity has arisen for a Personal Assistant/Support Worker to support a young man who has profound physical and learning disabilities, severely impaired vision, and epilepsy. His complex needs mean that he requires total support in all aspects of his life.
He has very limited means of communication regarding how he is feeling, and his PA will have to learn to recognize and respond to very small changes in his behaviour.
His PA will be required to:
* Manage his multi-sensory based day care programme flexibly and imaginatively to match his changing moods/needs each day.
* Take him out daily for community-based activities which will include rebound therapy, hydrotherapy, outings, shopping, and cafe visits.
* Administer medication daily.
* Attend to his personal care needs.
* Keep a diary, attend meetings, appointments, and training as appropriate.
There will be a need for the PA to cover occasional weekends and sleep-ins.
To carry out the full range of daily activities which this young man enjoys, his PA must hold a full UK driving license.
What we offer you:
* Where you’ll be working: Ellesmere Port.
* Your salary: £12.60 per hour + Complex Care Rate.
* Your working hours: Mon-Fri (Occasional Sleep Ins and Weekends).
* Generous Holidays: 33 days of annual leave (including eight days statutory bank holidays).
* Pay incentives: 10% overtime allowance, 20% Bank Holiday allowance, 50% for key dates over Christmas.
* Training & development: Earn money while you get a fully funded Level 2 Diploma in Health & Social Care.
* Lots of benefits: Health, retail, and cash incentives to use how you want.
