Looking for BSL Communication Support Workers……..

This is an excellent opportunity to join an established team of highly experienced communication support workers. We are looking for 3-4 more people (working towards level 2 British Sign Language - BSL) who have a solid understanding and working experience of autism to join our team supporting our deaf, autistic 30-year-old son and his autistic friend/flatmate, to move out of home into their own flat in Dalkeith, Midlothian. The flat is a 30-minute bus ride from the centre of Edinburgh on the No 3 bus. The tenancy has begun, and we aim to increase the number of sleepovers as soon as possible with shadow shifts and in-house training starting immediately.

Neither of the guys have challenging behaviour. They are both very peaceful, cheerful, cooperative, and hard-working. Our son Josh works Mondays to Fridays in 2 communities (Garvald and Tiphereth) doing woodwork, composting, pottery, and textiles. Liam has different daytime activities. Both guys love swimming, cinema, discos, holidays, and going to the pub.

You will be expected to support both guys with daily activities within the home and in the wider community, such as cooking, cleaning, shopping, and social activities. This may occasionally include some degree of personal care.

You will be asked to work a combination of 4:30 pm - 8 am shifts, which includes sleeping night duty and weekend work, as well as going on group or individual holidays.

Drivers preferred but not essential.

Enhanced salary of £16+ per hour because you MUST HAVE suitable British Sign Language skills, not just sign along.

Full and part-time posts, evenings and weekends with permanent contracts available.

Please email with your CV. Interviews will be at the end of October and ongoing.

You will be working for the families of these guys, rather than an agency/the council.

Thanks, Katrina and Donna Hadland.
