Daniel has suction needs. They have epilepsy which is well controlled with only occasional absent seizures.
You will work alongside an additional support workers when on shift as the children require two carers at all times. This will enable you to work together on certain activities such as manual handling. After school duties include hoisting from chair onto the mat for a roll around and stretch, preparing blended meals, personal care, organising school bags and light housework associated with the children (such as weekly bed changing, hoovering and equipment care). Due to the time of day the after school shifts starts the role consists of a high percentage of indirect care.
This Support Worker role will suit someone with a passion to make a difference to the children's lives; somebody who will work on strengthening their skills and focusing on their abilities. The person needs to be able to take direction from mum on occasions, but be proactive and able to take the initiative in providing a safe and stimulating environment.
