A rewarding one-to-one role supporting a teenage girl in her family home We are looking for a kind, reliable and enthusiastic female support worker to join a small, established team supporting a teenage girl with complex needs.

She has Cerebral Palsy, Autism and Epilepsy and is non-speaking. She has a fantastic personality and communicates in lots of different ways, including using an AAC communication device.

She loves music, Disney, swimming, sensory activities, being outdoors and spending time with people who really take the time to get to know her.

This is a dedicated one-to-one role rather than working across multiple clients, giving you the opportunity to really get to know the young person you support and become an important part of a small and consistent team.

We are looking for someone to work 2-3 regular waking nights per week, from 9:00pm-8:30am.

Nights are generally calm and follow an established routine, but due to epilepsy, a waking carer is required to remain alert and responsive throughout the shift.

• Supporting medication, with full client-specific training
• Supporting sleep and settling when required
• Personal care
• Supporting communication using AAC
• Positioning and individual therapy/sensory programmes
• Morning personal care and getting ready for the day
• Breakfast and morning medication
• Completing appropriate care records.

There may also be opportunities to work additional shifts to cover annual leave and sickness.

Care is provided within a lovely family home with a large, purpose-built adapted area designed specifically around the young person's needs.

This includes an adapted bedroom and wet room, a large purpose-built therapy and sensory space, specialist equipment and comfortable facilities for the care team.

A huge amount of thought has gone into creating an environment that works brilliantly for the young person while also being a comfortable, welcoming and enjoyable place for her team to work.

Experience of complex care, epilepsy, Cerebral Palsy, Autism or supporting children and young people with additional needs would be an advantage. However, we also place enormous importance on finding someone with the right personality and attitude.
