Care Assistant for a young person F/T @ £11.44/hr in LS13 - FTE - £0.0k - Leeds - LS13
Job Overview
We are looking for someone to support J, a 13-year-old young man who would like some alternative company other than his parents!
About J
J loves shopping, motorbiking (at Bumpy), riding his bike & scooter, trains, football, building and making things, eating out, gaming, and baking.
Support Needs
J is autistic and has ADHD. He needs support/supervision in the community to help keep him safe and build up his life skills. J likes to be independent and will try anything but often needs support with prompting and breaking down communication.
While J can become emotionally dysregulated, this usually occurs at home with his family where he feels most safe, and he has never displayed this challenge with other people. It would be helpful to have an understanding of sensory processing and de-escalation strategies to support heightened situations of emotional regulation.
Expectations
J will need someone who can be fair and clear with expectations and boundaries. Once these are set out, J is accepting. He enjoys being active and is known for being a 'funny chap'.
Schedule
We have 3 hours per week and 5 hours per week during school holidays. We can be flexible with days and times.
