Are you a caring, energetic, and fun role model?

My daughter is a dance and singing enthusiast, a 14-year-old who thrives on social connection and genuinely sees the good in people. She is seeking a support worker for 4 hours per fortnight during term time and 4 hours per week during school holidays to engage in all things teenage!

Hours are flexible and will be discussed during the interview.

She has Williams Syndrome, which means she has a natural ability to communicate, is exceptionally sociable, has an affinity for music, an amazing memory, unique social skills, and a "cocktail party personality." This can also mean she can be vulnerable, working hard to understand social dangers. She is a typical 14-year-old whose only wish in life is to enjoy age-related activities with someone who can safely engage her in this important part of life.

The role involves providing emotional and social opportunities to help her achieve independent and fulfilling social experiences while maintaining safety and modelling positive relationships. We are looking for someone interested in a long-term role, committed to building a relationship with her and supporting her to be the person she wants to be.

If you believe you have what it takes to meet her needs, we would love to hear from you.
