Care assistant for a young person 5 hours weekly @£14.30/hr WF11 area - Knottingley - WF11

I am looking for a Personal Assistant to care for my 11-year-old daughter Matilda in our home for 5 hours a week. Matilda has a physical disability resulting in the use of a wheelchair and a communication disorder, so experience with children in these areas would be beneficial. Matilda is also Gastronomy fed, and training in this would be useful but can be provided.

This would be a very rewarding and fulfilling role for someone, as Matilda is a very happy and funny little girl. Although she is non-verbal, she is often creative in ways to get her point across and has often been described as a social butterfly. She has a very cheeky personality that could brighten up anyone’s day.

The role would include:

1. Personal care
2. Toileting
3. Food preparation and feeding
4. Social inclusion
5. Maintaining safety in the household when family are out
6. Supporting the family with days out to focus time on siblings

Matilda attends school Monday to Friday, so support would be most beneficial at the weekends; however, I can be flexible for the right candidate.
