About the Client/Child
Danny is 16 years old; he is a lovely, happy boy who lives with his incredibly loving mum and dad. He enjoys spending a lot of time on the trampoline or listening to music. Danny has Cerebral Palsy and epilepsy and requires personal care. He uses a manual wheelchair whilst out and, at home, is able to self‑mobilise with support. He is non‑verbal, communicating gestures and noises, and can eat and drink with gentle support and encouragement.
The Role at a Glance
This part‑time SEN Support Worker role provides consistent after‑school and weekend support for Danny and his family. The core hours are currently Monday and Thursday from 3.00 pm to 7.00 pm, plus six hours on a Saturday, with the potential for hours to increase overtime. The support worker will be in the family home to meet Danny after his school transport drops him off and will support his after‑school routine, personal care, preparing teatime food and leisure activities at home and around the local neighbourhood. Danny will be moving within the following couple of months to the Purley area, where his new garden will have an in‑ground trampoline which he will be able to access safely. On a Saturday, Danny will usually be up and ready for his day; if the weather is kind he loves to go to his local trampoline park. The new support worker must be active and fit to accompany him on walks, in the park, at high street, and on his planned UK trip in August.
This Job Would Suit
Female support workers with experience in supporting children or young people within family homes and who are comfortable working alongside family members. Ideal candidates are calm, warm, and understand professional boundaries. The right person will genuinely enjoy engaging in Danny’s favourite sensory routines and building a meaningful relationship with him.
Why You’ll Love This Role
This role offers the chance to build a meaningful relationship with a very engaging young man and to make a real difference to him and his family.
