Job Overview

Hours of work: Minimum of 15 hours per week to work within an existing rota.

Rate of pay: £16.00 – £16.50 per hour

Would you like to work within a family environment with a fun-loving child with physical disabilities? Our son requires a fun-loving, caring and confident team of assistants to help him with everyday life within our home on Southbank in York.

Max has quadriplegic cerebral palsy coupled with a great sense of humour, loves watching football, having fun, learning and making the most of life. Max is non-verbal but immerse yourself in Max and you will soon realise how excellent he is at communicating with facial expression, eyes and his communication device.

Responsibilities

Provide personal care and assistance to Max, helping with everyday tasks in our home. Work with a co-worker as Max requires a 2:1 care ratio. Assist with additional tasks such as form filling, paying bills, shopping and other household duties as needed.

Hours of work will vary during the year but there will be a minimum of 15 hours per week available, which will increase during school holidays, weekends and evenings. We welcome applications for workers who can work only on certain days/hours and will be seeking more than one carer on a job share basis.

Requirements

Work must be conducted by someone with permission to work in the U.K. at the time of starting employment.

Holder of a current full, clean driving licence valid in the UK and own transport is required.

Application Process

Applicants must complete the application form in full; incomplete applications may be rejected. A curriculum vitae will not be accepted as a substitute.

Disability North will electronically store your application form for 6 months after this recruitment ends; it will then be deleted.
