Care Assistants for a man in the Willington area £12.00 per hour - Crook - DL15
Job Description
Do you possess an NVQ in Health & Social Care or working towards it? Do you have experience of working with young people? If so, I have an exciting opportunity for you to work in a team as a Support Worker to support me to live in the community. My name is Adam, aged 30 years, who lives in Willington. Due to a serious road accident that caused damage to my brain, it has always been my goal to move back into the community with a 24/7 1-1 care package to meet my needs. I currently live in a care home, but I now have a 2-bedroom bungalow in Willington County Durham, and I need a Direct Payment care team 24/7 to support me to live safely in the community. Duties
The sort of help I need is someone who will work with me and help me with my independence, such as making my meals and ensuring I am safe when showering. I will need someone to encourage and support me in ensuring my home remains clean and tidy and assist with domestic chores such as laundry and ironing. I walk with a walking frame and am partially sighted in one eye after the accident, and I need someone with me to ensure I get around safely, such as crossing the road. Due to my brain injury, I do not always filter what I think and may say things that come to my mind, whether that is to a carer or a member of the public. I require an understanding carer to help me with this, especially when out in the community. I will need someone with me to ensure I do my shopping and stick to a budget, and I would like to engage in activities like going to the cinema, dining out, gym, swimming, and other normal activities. Hours / Wage
I would like a care team of 4/5 to allow for holidays, sickness, training, and rostered days off. It is really important that I have the right carers, and I am better suited for a male worker or a mature female experienced carer. The shifts will be 12 hours, from 8am to 8pm and from 8pm to 8am, but during the night, you will have your own bedroom to sleep in. Wage rate: £12.00 per hour. You will also be paid holiday pay. I will consider applications from those who may just want to work nights, but this must fit in with the care team rota. I am considering a 2-week rota which means you will have a weekend off every second week. Additional Requirements/Information
Ideally, I would like someone with caring experience, especially with head injury given my neurological issues. It is important to have the right caring, understanding, friendly, empathetic, perceptive, patient, reliable, and emotionally intelligent personality. I hope to purchase a car when I leave the care home, and it would be an advantage if someone can drive to enable me to put on my car insurance and drive us out for days, but a license is not essential. For the role, an Enhanced DBS will be required, but I will cover this cost. Sleep-ins will be required, but you will have your own bed and bedroom to retire to. I am a smoker and do not have an issue with carers smoking, but I ask that they smoke outside my bungalow as I will be doing.
