Our client has a positive attitude and cheeky personality. He enjoys having fun and spending time with his girlfriend, friends, and family. He enjoys going out and about, including his day service, bowling, out for meals, and to the cinema, all with support from his carers. Our client is a whizz with technology and loves participating in theatre-based sound-engineering activities. Alongside this, he is also completing an education package at home. He is very creative and, with physical assistance, loves to engage in practical hands-on construction tasks.
Our client, born in 2002, suffered a trauma at birth that has resulted in him having cerebral palsy affecting his whole body and causing him to have communication challenges. He lives in his own purpose-built house and receives 24/7 care support. He is assisted by carers in all aspects of his life. To communicate, he has some spoken words and also uses a communication device (Gridpad 15).
The purpose of the job is to provide assistance to our client with all aspects of daily living. Detailed management plans composed by clinical professionals and the client set out how our client wants to be assisted. Independence, dignity, meaningful activity, choice, and quality of life are of the highest importance. Support Workers will be expected to follow advice and recommendations from our client and specialists on positioning, feeding, exercises, etc. The post requires the use of specialist equipment including hoists, power chair, and recumbent trike. Client-specific training will be provided.
Every day is different, and the support will be varied. As well as day-to-day personal care, routines, activities, and therapies, there will be a variety of designated roles to carry out to assist our client.
We are particularly looking for energetic and enthusiastic individuals who are able to work flexibly to meet the needs of our client throughout the week. Bank hours are available to cover annual leave and sickness as required. Part-time contracted work is also considered.
