client/child:

Isla 13 is an extremely bright, inquisitive, engaging, sociable, and bubbly young lady. She lives with her mummy and three siblings in Leyton and is at the heart of a close-knit and supportive family. Isla has many hobbies and interests, such as fashion, shopping, trips to the park, and spending time with her family and friends. She has Athetoid cerebral palsy with profound physical impairment and epilepsy (controlled with medication). Isla is a wheelchair user and communicates using Eye Gaze technology. She is on a blended food diet (orally) and can drink from her bottle with a spout with full support. Isla continues to make significant progress with her eye gaze and requires access to it at all times to communicate. We are looking for a therapy assistant or higher-level support worker with strong eye gaze experience to support Isla with her communication outside of SALT sessions. Isla’s mother meets all her care needs.

Overview of role:
While eye gaze is the primary focus, the therapy assistant/higher-level support worker will support all of Isla’s therapy programs outlined by her multidisciplinary team (physio, SALT, OT, etc.). Isla is a determined character and we seek a Therapy Assistant / Senior Support Worker who can help her continue her rehabilitation progress and support her overall development, independence, and self-help skills. Training is provided for all aspects of the role, so you will be confident in your responsibilities.

Who this job would suit:
This is a great opportunity for a bubbly, confident, and conscientious Therapy Student or experienced Support Worker who is comfortable working in partnership with Isla’s mum, MDT, and Case Management Team. Previous experience supporting a client who uses eye gaze communication technology is required.

What’s great about this job:
This role offers a chance to join an exceptionally warm and welcoming family. Isla has a dedicated multidisciplinary team conducting sessions at home and in school throughout the week. You will be part of an experienced team committed to Isla’s rehabilitation journey.
