We are currently looking for Support Workers/enablers to work for a 16-year-old girl to provide care at home as well as support accessing the local community with leisure activities.
The role would be suitable for one person or as a job share situation.
Due to the hours, it would also be suitable for someone wishing to fit around other commitments.

ROLE RESPONSIBILITIES:

I am a full-time powered wheelchair user who needs help with day-to-day living. I have a neuro-muscular condition which means I am unable to stand or walk, and I have limited strength in my arms. In all other ways I am a teenager just like any other – I love to read, write poetry and sing. I enjoy musical theatre, going to the movies, shopping and meeting up with friends for coffee.
I’d love to find someone you could provide the care I need as well as in future enable me to access activities in the community.
I need help with personal care such as showering, dressing and toileting using mobility aids and hoists. Previous experience with hoisting is not necessary as full training will be provided.
