Care Assistant for a Young Person - 5 Hours Weekly @ £12.10/hr (WF11 Area)
I am looking for a Personal Assistant to care for my 11-year-old daughter Matilda in our home for 5 hours a week. Matilda has a physical disability resulting in the use of a wheelchair and a communication disorder, so experience with children in these areas would be beneficial. Matilda is also gastrostomy fed, so training in this would be useful but can be provided.
This role would be very rewarding and fulfilling for someone, as Matilda is a happy and funny little girl. Although she is non-verbal, she is often creative in ways to express herself and has been described as a social butterfly. She has a cheeky personality that could brighten anyone’s day.
The role includes personal care, toileting, food preparation, feeding, social inclusion, and maintaining safety in the household when the family is out. Additionally, the role involves supporting the family with days out so focused time can be spent with siblings.
Matilda attends school Monday to Friday, so support would be most beneficial on weekends; however, I can be flexible for the right candidate.
