Hello! Im looking for someone to join my team as a support worker with permanent weekly shifts and casual weekend/school holiday shifts available. I am a key worker/therapy assistant wotu a background in positive behsvuour support for a beautiful 9 year old boy who lives in Dingley. The little boy has Norries Disease which is a genetic condition that has resulted in him being blind since birth, he is also level 3 autistic and has a moderate intellectual disabilty. I am looking for someone for Sunday evenings 3pm-7.30pm with the option of also doing a weeknight 3pm-7.30pm and/or Saturdays 2pm-6pm. Regular extra hours over the school holidays (he is supported 8am-7.30pm 5 days a week over the school holidays). After school session duties will involve teaching him to complete his evening routine with increased independence, working on a set of physio exercises with him, teaching him emotional regulation skills and helping him to express his emotions, modelling language and helping
him learn to use an alternative communication device as well as very basic food prep and cleaning up after his meal times. Weekend and school holiday shifts are more focussed on outings to the pool,beach, parks and playcentres. I provide full training and ongoing support and you will be working under my abn and insurance so I do tax and super as well. Starting rate is $35 on weekdays, $45 on saturdays, $55 on sundays but will increase as per the schads award after training is completed, higher rate for anyone with relevant experience working with kids with disabilities. No experience with disability is necessary though, you just need to have a good rapport with kids and caring nature and willingness to learn.
