Job Ref: 5317

Job description

Although this job description is correct at present, it may change from time to time after negotiation with the post holder.

Must have the right to work in the UK to apply for this role, sponsorship not available.

Job purpose

I am looking for a support worker for 4 hours per week to help take me out into the community to complete a variety of different activities. I can struggle to access community settings due to having autism and a learning disability, I would like someone who I can trust to support me to do this safely.

About me

I live in Felixstowe with my Mum. My Dad lives in Ipswich, and I spend 3 nights per week there.

I am a cheerful cheeky chap!

I am autistic and have global developmental delay, interior ventricular haemorrhage and left moderate hearing loss. I have Exotropia and Nystagmus, I am prescribed glasses, but I don’t wear them, I would prefer to spin or break them.

I am a visual learner and love sensory input.

I go to a specialist school in Ipswich and have an Education, Health, Care Plan (EHCP).

We have two cats at home called Jeffery and Lara.

Things I like:

· Trampoline, Peanut ball, Egg spinning chair

· Being pushed in my buggy

· Spinning things in my hands by rolling them.

· Hitting things on my head or onto surfaces to get sensory feedback.

· Quiet time and space, I will take myself to my safe space or sensory cupboard and be shut in there.

· Going to the park, particularly the slide currently.

· Going to the beach (I would run into the sea)

· I love swimming in the sea or a swimming pool. I love water play and the hot tub.

· Crunchy foods such as biscuits and crisps.

Things I don’t like:

· People touching me, my toys or sensory equipment.

· People being in my space when I don’t want it.

· Going into busy/noisy environments can make me go hyper and more excited for a period of time. I will almost always then become dysregulated and grumpy.

How I communicate:

I will take your hand and guide you to what I want. I started doing PECS phase 1 at nursery. I understand some single word commands such as bedtime, bath time, food and let’s go. I do Intensive interaction at home and in school, and we use objects of reference such as nappy = pad change, bottle = drink, clothes = going out. I may give you a random object to show I want something but may not be the right object, you need to then try and guess what I want! I know the word “ta” to give you something I have. I will make loud, high-pitched sounds when I am happy but may sound angry.

Main Duties and Responsibilities:

· To help with personal care tasks such as washing/ dressing and toileting

· To support me to access a variety of different community settings.

· To promote a total communication approach utilising a variety of different verbal and nonverbal communications technics to interact with me.

· Engage in intensive interactions and support my development through play.

· Support my emotional wellbeing and help me to maintain regulation.

· Be aware of my sensory needs and how to support me to calm down if I do become dysregulated.

· To support safe moving and handling whilst out in the community.

· To keep me safe.
