Support Worker
Experienced Support Workers required to work weekends
Part time Up to 15 hours per week

Village location a short driving distance away from Shepton Mallet, Wells and Bath.
I am 12 years old. I have a brain injury, Autism, ADHD and a visual impairment. I live with my mum and younger brother, in Chilcompton. My mum and I are looking for someone to join my friendly and proactive support team.
I need help with personal care, social communication, attending appointments, accessing activities, doing my therapy exercises at home, accessing the community, planning and managing day to day activities and being encouraged and motivated. I sometimes need support with my emotional regulation.
My team includes my mum, my case manager, my support workers, my occupational therapist, my physiotherapist and my clinical psychologist. My team work together to help develop my skills and independence. My team will provide you with statutory and bespoke training. They will ask you for feedback on what helps me when you are supporting me. You will be part of my team.
I love gaming on my Nintendo Switch, playing in the garden on my trampoline and trike, watching Dr Who and Star Wars, listening to music, country walks, swimming and being with friends. I don’t always like doing my therapy, going to busy places, dealing with children I don’t know. I need help to manage these activities from someone with lots of energy. Good motivational skills are essential! So too is fitting in with my family’s life.
