Family Support Worker

You will be providing 21 hours of support per week, with the hours worked flexibly during the daytime.

Mum has physical disabilities but is very hands-on, active and independent. Her son has autism, and the role will involve supporting the family with their day-to-day routine, activities, appointments and accessing the community.

The aim of the package is to provide practical support while encouraging and maintaining the family's independence.

Duties may include:

• Supporting mum and her son with day-to-day activities

• Supporting with trips and activities within the community

• Attending appointments where required

• Assisting with shopping and general day-to-day tasks

• Providing appropriate support to a child with autism

• Helping maintain routines and consistency

• Driving the family when required as part of the support package

• Building a positive and professional relationship with the family

• 17.00 per hour

• 21 guaranteed hours every week

• Long-term, ongoing work

• Daytime hours

• Flexible working pattern

• Weekly pay

You must hold a full UK driving licence and be confident driving as part of your role.

You will not be expected to use your own vehicle for the support. Mum has a disability vehicle and arrangements will be made for the successful Support Worker to be added to the relevant insurance.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Reliable and committed to providing consistent long-term support

• Friendly, patient and approachable

• Confident supporting both adults and children

• Comfortable supporting an individual with autism

• Able to promote independence rather than taking over

• Flexible with daytime availability

• A confident driver with a full UK driving licence

• Able to maintain appropriate professional boundaries

Previous experience within care, support work, autism, learning disabilities or family support would be advantageous.

This is an excellent opportunity for someone looking for a consistent 21 hours of guaranteed work each week at 17.00 per hour, while retaining flexibility around their daytime working pattern.

Apply today with your CV and a member of our team will be in touch to discuss the package in more detail.
