About the Client
Introducing Zach – an inquisitive, engaging, and energetic 6-year-old with a love for playing with toy cars, story time, adventures in his buggy, emergency vehicles, and family time. Zach lives at home with his Mum, Dad, and big brother in East Grinstead. Zach has Dyskinetic Cerebral Palsy and requires 2:1 support, 24/7. He strives for his independence, and with the support of his therapy and care team, he is making excellent progress! Zach loves to chat and is super quick crawling and rolling; with support and supervision, he can sit for short periods of time unaided. His home is fully adapted to meet all his needs, including ceiling track hoists, a therapy room, and specialist equipment, including a standing frame.
The Role at a Glance
The team provides 2:1 support day and night. His night care consists of one waking night carer, and one On-Call Night carer. His team continually promotes his independence, provides hand-on support with all areas of his ADL’s, personal care, and self-help skills. His parents, along with his medical, therapy, support and case management team, all work in collaboration to ensure he has the highest standard of support in place, ensuring all his needs are met. He requires support to manage self-regulation, and anxiety; all training in this area is provided. Each day is jam packed with things to do, he has a busy schedule, with therapy and rehabilitation appointments/sessions, planned activities and outdoor play. If you are on a night shift, the waking night carer will alert you on the rare occasion when assistance is required. Further information is available on application.
This Job Would Suit
Zach is fiercely determined, so it is important he can make his own choices. He is no pushover and has a wicked sense of humour! He will laugh aloud if you make funny noises or pretend to fall over! You will bring to this role confidence and sensibility; Zach requires a firm, consistent but gentle and good-humoured approach.
