Job Reference: LCSDEC03
We have a lovely opportunity for someone to work with 15-year-old year girl with a physical disability. She needs support with personal care and sometimes someone to be around in the background while she is out doing normal teenage girl stuff with her friends. She is chatty and engaging to be with. All conversations with prospective carers would involve this young person. She is a wheelchair user, and the family would provide training in all aspects of her care.
She does not take any medication and has input from SLT and does CrossFit as part of her exercise routine
The hours are 3.30pm to 6.30pm school term time (in line with East Lothian Council dates) across 4 weekdays. However, the family know that after-school times can be tricky so are happy to be flexible with time and days for the right candidate.
School holidays would include 9am to 11am each contracted workday but this can be flexible and is open for discussion with the candidates.
The hourly rate is around £15 per hour but again this can be discussed for a candidate with lots of experience.
Start date is mid January 2025.
We would like someone who has the willingness to learn and use their initiative. Having some ability with hair styles would be a selling point too!
A driver is not required but a car will be provided for the successful candidate if they drive and are happy to transport the young person to activities. Free parking at the family home.
Parents will work from home occasionally.
Please keep an eye on your junk mail for a response as it often goes here first time.
