These young boys enjoy woodland walks, visiting the beach and Air Box bounce, farms, and zoos, and have lots of boundless energy.
MAIN DUTIES Support to access activities in the community which the boys enjoy attending and to engage in meaningful and enjoyable time both at home and with outside adventures. Provide personal care both at home and in the community, assisting with washing, dressing, and mealtimes, including both morning and evening routines.

Having some knowledge of Makaton would be useful. Have an understanding of sensory needs and the difficulties faced by these on a daily basis. Be physically fit as this post will require you to act quickly on occasions. Have a high degree of initiative. Be punctual and reliable, as these children cannot be left unsupervised at any time.
