Female Care Assistants for a teenage girl living in the Consett area £12.00 per hour - Consett - DH8
I am currently looking to recruit 2 Female Support Workers to provide support for a 16-year-old young person who has a diagnosis of autism, learning difficulties, and sometimes presents complex challenging behaviours.
The role is to provide support normally 8 hours per week during term time at weekends and 16 hours during the holidays, preferably weekdays. You will work with the young person to encourage her to access the community and gain independence.
Rate of pay: £12 per hour.
The main role is support at home, as she mainly enjoys her home comforts, including gaming and her teddy bears. However, the objective of the role will be to encourage independence and support her in participating in activities she enjoys, spending more time away from home.
This young lady enjoys outings such as the cinema and dining at Nandos/Chinese restaurants at the Metro Centre.
There are pets in the household, including two small dogs, so you should be comfortable working where pets are present.
Building a relationship so that she feels comfortable going out with you and feeling supported is key. You should be proactive in suggesting various activities in the community. Long term, you will support her in discovering new hobbies and attending new places.
It is not a requirement to have qualifications or experience for this role; having similar interests and building a good relationship with her is more important.
The successful applicants will need patience, tolerance, and a strong sense of self in guiding her to enjoy activities while making good choices in the community.
A car driver with an own car is essential.
If you would like to embrace all that this role has to offer, please get in touch. Together, we can make a difference in this young lady's life.
A DBS will be required.
