| Hours | 10 to 14 hours per week to start, increasing during clinical placement periods @ £20 per hour. Hours built around timetable but mainly weekday evenings & weekends. |
| Rate of Pay | £20 per hour |
| DBS/Checks | Confirmation of DBS check Right to Work and references will be needed. |
| About the Person You Will Support: | S is starting a nursing degree at Anglia Ruskin University in September and will be living independently in student accommodation for the first time. She is a capable, hardworking and determined young woman who manages a great deal on her own, but she is autistic, has a mild learning difficulty, and a communication disorder. S enjoys swimming, which she does weekly, and she is warm and sociable once she feels comfortable. She would also like to go to gym and play badminton. She is genuinely interested in healthcare and caring for people, which is what drew her to nursing. She likes routine and familiar activities, and she is keen to try new things and build her social life at university with a bit of encouragement |
| Key Responsibilities: | S is independent with her own personal care and, when she has a fixed routine such as classes, gets herself up and out without difficulty. Her support needs are around prompting, planning and organisation, travel, and staying safe. She takes longer to process complex or unfamiliar information, can find it hard to speak up or ask for help under pressure, and benefits from structure, gentle encouragement, and a consistent, trusted person. A regular check-in and gentle prompts to keep her day and week on track. Help to plan and organise her week and stay on top of coursework and deadlines. Meals: planning, shopping, cooking together, and reminders to eat and drink regularly. Everyday living: laundry, keeping her space in order, and managing money. Travel: building her confidence to get around, and getting to and from university and her clinical placements, including early starts and late finishes. Confidence and community: trying new things, social activities, and settling into new situations. Encouragement on the days she finds harder. The aim throughout is to help her do things for herself, not to do them for her. She needs the right person alongside her to help her stay organised, keep to a routine, and grow in confidence. This role will enable her to live independently, thrive on her course, travel safely to her placements, and build the skills and confidence to manage adult life. Her family are relocating abroad, so this consistent support will become the mainstay of her independence. This is a permanent, ongoing role. We are looking for someone who would like to build a lasting working relationship with Sahana and support her throughout her studies and beyond. |
| Requirements: | A full driving licence and use of a car is highly desirable but not essential. Patience, kindness, reliability and consistency above all, as trust and continuity matter enormously to S. A calm, clear communicator who is happy to explain things in a way that works for her and to encourage rather than take over. Someone who promotes her independence by helping her do things for herself. Good time-keeping and dependability. Experience of supporting an autistic person or someone with a learning disability is welcome, but genuine understanding, patience and a willingness to learn matter most. A positive attitude and a good sense of humour. No specific additional training is required beyond the mandatory safeguarding, first aid and health and safety. An understanding of autism and learning disabilities, or a willingness to learn about them, would be valuable. A short induction and time to get to know S before the role begins would be part of the arrangement. S is genuinely excited to be starting her nursing degree, and is looking for someone to be alongside her as she take this big step into living independently for the first time. This is not a heavy care role. It is much more about encouragement, structure, and being a steady, friendly presence, the kind of check-in and support a family gives, tuned to the fact that she is autistic , has a mild learning difficulty and Speech and language communication disorder. If you are patient, reliable, and happy to help S do things for herself rather than for her, we would love to hear from you. Please send a CV (with 2 references) and a covering letter explaining why you would suit this role. Thank you. * Sponsorship is not available for this role |
