She does not have any physical disabilities and manages her own personal care independently.\r\n\r\nShe is committed to maintaining and developing her independence and is motivated to achieve her goals with the right support and encouragement. She currently volunteers while looking for permanent employment and has a particular interest in working with children.\r\n\r\nShe enjoys spending time with her family and small circle of friends and has a strong local family support network.\r\n\r\nThe successful applicant will work alongside her to develop her confidence, independent living skills and ability to participate in meaningful activities within her local community.<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"132\"><strong>Hours and rate of pay<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"492\"><strong>Working Days: <\/strong>Tuesday and Friday, ideally 9:30am\u20132:30pm, although some flexibility can be considered\r\n\r\n<strong>Rate of Pay: <\/strong>\u00a319.45 per hour<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"132\"><strong>Location<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"492\">Central St Albans, AL1 0 hours per week<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"132\"><strong>DBS\/Checks<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"492\">Confirmation of DBS check required\r\n\r\nRight to Work documentation and references will be needed<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"132\"><strong>Training<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"492\">Training will be offered to enable to complete the mandatory training required:\r\n\r\n\u2022\u00a0 Safeguarding\r\n\r\n\u2022\u00a0 Introduction to first aid\r\n\r\n\u2022\u00a0 Health and Safety<\/td>\r\n<\/tr>\r\n<tr>\r\n<td width=\"132\"><strong>What you would be doing\u2026<\/strong><\/td>\r\n<td width=\"492\">The role is focused on <strong>supporting and enabling rather than doing tasks for her<\/strong>.\r\n\r\nShe experiences difficulties with processing and retaining information, planning, organisation and problem-solving.

The successful applicant will need to communicate clearly, check her understanding and provide support in a patient and respectful manner.\r\n\r\nShe can find unexpected or last-minute changes difficult and takes time to develop trust with new people.
