JOB DESCRIPTION
A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF
I am a 16-year-old girl living in Rhydyfelin with my family and pets. I have 3 cats and a very bouncy Cockapoo. I have a diagnosis of Global Developmental Delay and Epilepsy. I have regular seizures but take medication for this.
You will need to be my eyes and ears because I don’t have any sense of safety and danger, especially on the road. I can wonder off when in the shop as I’m easily distracted. I must be closely supervised at all times.
At the moment my confidence is low and I find it difficult to initiate or engage in conversation. When I’m out at the park I prefer it to be quiet and don’t like playing with other children.
PURPOSE OF JOB
The purpose of the job is to create a calm environment to gain life skills away from the comfort of my mum.
You will support me to gain confidence around new people and social situations.
HOURS OF WORK
3 hours per week.
RATE OF PAY
£13.00 per hour
40p mileage allowance
TASKS INVOLVED
· Taking me out in your car to the shops or park
· Going for short walks in the local area if the weather is decent
· Playing games with me and taking the time to get to know me
· Supporting me to learn ways to cope with the world around me
· Supporting me to learn independence and new life skills
· Reassuring me when I am not coping well
TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED
· A friendly, patient and understanding person is important
· Someone energetic, outgoing and fun
· Someone who will put in lots of effort to get to know me as a person
· Ideally you’ll have some experience with my disability, but this is not essential
ABOUT THE JOB
Though a part-time job, this will be a proper job requiring a National Insurance number to be submitted. A trial period will be necessary in the first instance. My mother will be your legal employer. The wage will be paid every month on return of a payslip provided by the Centre for Independent Living. You will receive appropriate holiday.
The successful applicant will be required to undertake a DBS Check at no cost to you.
