About the Client/Child Pete is well known to us at Snap Care; we’ve had the pleasure of working with him since he was a teeny wee tot! He is now soon to be 10 years old, and lives at home with his Mum, Dad and younger brother in his fully adapted home. Pete has his own dedicated team of Support Workers who provide 1:1 support (day and night), along with a privately instructed therapy team focusing on his rehabilitation. Pete is a very outgoing, happy, energetic, and confident young boy with a love for singing, music, and sensory play. He is also very outdoorsy and enjoys being taken for walks in his wheelchair to a lovely local park where he loves to people watch and feed the ducks. Pete has Cerebral Palsy which affects his overall development; he is a wheelchair user and requires support with all aspects of moving and handling, support and encouragement when eating. Pete is verbal and has been making great progress with SLT support, he also uses PECs, some Makaton, plus ‘now and next’ boards to support his expressive communication; he is very expressive.
The Role at a Glance At the beginning of shift at 2.00 pm, play activities and supper preparations are set up before you pick up Pete from school in his wheelchair adapted vehicle (WAV). There will, on some days be extracurricular activities or therapy appointment to go to, straight from school; there is a comprehensive weekly schedule to follow. A key part of this role is implementing Pete ’s therapy and rehabilitation programme in a good fun and creative way. He loves silly interaction so no shrinking violets please! Pete’s little brother (5) loves him, so it is also important for Pete to be gently encouraged to play with him. Pete requires experienced, practical support to assist him with his personal care, self-help and independence skills. Pete really enjoys his night-time routine of a bath then settling into bed with stories. At the end of your shift, you will complete a handover with Pete ’s waking night carer.
This Job Would Suit A fun, creative, bubbly, and confident SEN Support Worker keen to learn new skills. This is an ideal position if you are interested in learning more about therapy. If you love to laugh, sing and dance – this is the role for you.
Why You’ll Love This Role Everything! Of course, supporting Pete is the best part of this role; whilst he will absolutely keep you on your toes and is full of mischief, we guarantee he will make you laugh and smile every day! This role is highly recommended by current Snap Care Support Workers. Excellent training, ongoing supervision and support provided.
