Rate of pay from £28,392 to £35,490, pro rata. Post is for term time with option for hours during university holidays. Likely 40 to 50 hours per week, depending on classes.
My name is Ethan, I’m 18 years old, and I have Osteogenesis Imperfecta (OI) Type 3 (also known as Brittle Bone Disease). I’m looking for a support worker who can support me both at home and on campus as well as drive my large motability vehicle. At home you will help me get ready for the day. On campus I will need some support for accessing classes, moving around campus and with personal care. I will require limited in-class support and you will not be required to stay with me. You will support me in attending other university activities, clubs and events as required.
You don’t need experience of care but must be ready to learn how to support me safely, including moving and handling, driving my car appropriately, and being confident in carrying out your duties. Full training will be given.
Having similar interests to me would be handy and I like music, formula 1, computer games and card games.
You must be a member of the Protection of Vulnerable Groups (PVG) Scheme or willing to join.
