The Bailey Household
Beith
PART TIME & OTHER
Support Worker for our gorgeous young man, 20, from our home. Part time.
We are looking for another team member to help our son have his best life.
What's Rufus like then?
Rufus is a happy and engaging 20-year-old who loves to be around people. He loves to go out for walks in his wheelchair (he has cerebral palsy), to do silly things like going ice skating or on the boats (again, in his chair) and to see lots of people round and about. He is non-verbal but is very good at communicating with his gorgeous eyes. He's young for his age, and gets his own way by flirting outrageously. This usually means Justin Fletcher, in all his forms, and if you don't know who that is, you soon will!
Owing to his disability he needs someone to manage all his care needs, including personal care and light housework in his bedroom and bathroom, but that someone also needs to be fabulous in lots of other ways.
What's the job like then?
We think it's great! After he's sorted out in the morning, he heads out somewhere every day, e.g. sessions with disability music, dance and art groups nearby and in Glasgow; lots of walks / visits to the supermarket, and anything else you or the team come up with!
What are you like then?
We are not looking for someone with lots of experience, your personality is what counts, so we would love to hear from you if:
Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays - 10am to 5pm
Rufus goes on holiday with the team (2 people), so occasionally a full weekend, including nights. All at the full hourly rate, although Rufus sleeps through-ish!
Extra hours if you want them in the evenings - to cover Mum and Dad going out
Holiday cover for other members of staff would be great - weekdays
Salary:
£12.50 per hour.
Holidays: 22 days plus 10 bank holidays pro rata.
Generous Pension Scheme - 5% employer and employee contributions on your basic pay.
There is a 3-month probationary period attached to the post and the successful applicant will have to undergo a new or updated PVG disclosure at the employer’s cost prior to appointment.
Next Steps:
Please send us an application, we'd love to hear from you. If your CV isn't obviously a fit, please let us know why you're applying (just so we know you've read this ad!).
Job Types: Part-time, Permanent
Pay: £12.50 per hour
Expected hours: 24 – 32 per week
Benefits:
Reference ID: Rufus's team
