Job description

Also 3 waking Nights (paid at an hourly rate) 10 – 8am

I am looking for support for my Autistic son who is 10 years old. He is a very loving, likeable boy. He is non-verbal but is able to communicate.

This can be one or two separate posts. One of the roles would be to support his current carer on a Sunday on a 2:1 basis.

I am also looking for a carer to support him 3 nights per week – this would include showering and getting him ready for bed. He does require support through the night to prevent him from self-harming, which may also include personal care and possible showering.

I am looking for someone who understands autism, a carer who has worked with children, who will encourage and motivate, and help build his confidence. Most importantly, must be caring and kind. Supervise at all times and keep him safe.

(Must be comfortable around dogs)

Membership of the PVG Scheme will be required for this post + references.
