Female Support Worker/ Personal Care Assistant

She loves walking in the woods, and going to the park, and drawing and is very slowly learning to write. She often draws little people and then rips them from the paper to play games with them. She enjoys dancing with her family in the living room.

She plays a lot, acting out with dolls and toys what she is watching on her tablet – this can often mean keeping an eye on how much toothpaste she has access to for example.

The role involves supporting her with day to day activities at home and out and about, keeping her safe and supervised at all times and to enable her to have a more varied experience of the world.

Some personal care such as support with eating and nappy changing will be required.

Help him become both ‘danger aware’ of things like roads and cars and aware of other people and develop appropriate boundaries and relationships.

Any other tasks to support her development and social enjoyment, as needed.
