Tameside MBC- Direct Payments Team
Location
Denton, Greater Manchester | United Kingdom
Job description
H is a friendly and intelligent 21 year old living in the Denton area of Tameside, who would like some support to reduce her isolation, by having someone she can build a strong working relationship with to help her regain confidence in a community setting.
The support required is flexible, but is mainly tailored around:
• Going to places she enjoys to improve her confidence in being out in a community setting again.
• Prompting with her medication and supporting her to attend appointments.
• Supporting her at home with daily living skills, things such as helping her to plan, shop for and make healthier meals. Also finances and diary planning.
• Using public transport. Arrange to meet her in the community and for her to get the bus independently rather than meeting at her home.
If you are an encouraging and outgoing Support Worker who could make a positive difference to H and have experience of working with people with autism, then please get in touch.
The role:
• 6 hours per week, would ideally suit someone looking for flexible work. These hours can be arranged to suit yourself and H, but she would need someone to support her to attend appointments. They may also increase if support is working well.
• £11.25 per hour, reviewed each April.
• Funding can be requested for suitable training courses.
For further information about the role, please contact Mark Scholes (0161 342 2445) or to apply, click the link to send your CV.
