Personal Care Assistant - Spennymoor - £13/hr - Part Time
Can you help care for a young boy who loves others and has a smile that can light up a room?
He likes to spend his days being talked to, reading storybooks with pictures, bouncing on a trampoline with the song "horsey horsey," and splashing in a warm pool while watching Bing and Horrid Henry.
Alongside this, he has significant health needs that are life-limiting. He needs assistance to breathe, which occasionally turns into an urgent situation. Could you help (full training will be provided) and keep calm under pressure? You will help stretch his failing body to keep him comfortable, ensure he is medicated and fed correctly via a tube, and help him sleep at night by assisting him to move and continue to breathe safely during the night.
This young boy comes from a busy household with dogs. The role involves assisting at home with education and therapies and going out and about. You must be willing and hopefully wanting to get on a trampoline and in a warm pool each week. The ability to drive a wheelchair-accessible van is also needed.
Rate of Pay: £13 per hour
Hours: Looking for someone for 12 hours per week to cover mainly evenings (3-8 pm), with occasional shifts from 11-5 or waking night shifts (7-7) to fit into the rota, which is completed 6-8 weeks in advance.
