Harvey, born in 2012, is a very energetic sparky young boy who really enjoys a trip to Costa coffee as well as swimming, horse riding, playing outside and gaming. Harvey lives with his mother, father and elder brother who are all very important to him. Harvey has a large circle of family and friends who live close by, and he loves a get-together (especially if it involves late-night dancing!)
Harvey has physical and learning difficulties which mean he requires additional support to take part in the activities he enjoys as well as his personal care. Your role as a Personal assistant will be to support Harvey to participate in and enjoy a range of leisure activities within the community and at home. You will be required to use your own initiative to ensure Harvey has suitable support when out and about and to assist him with personal care and daily living activities at home. You will however be supported by Harvey’s Case Manager and parents to ensure Harvey’s activities are risk assessed, safe and in line with his choices.
Harvey’s personal assistant would be expected to independently support with all aspects of his care after school and at bedtime and to promote Harvey's learning, whilst always enabling his independence. T he role would also involve assisting with client related domestic tasks and of course working co-operatively with Harvey's parents. Harvey’s personal assistant would also be required to implement strategies/follow therapy programmes devised by his treating therapists to assist Harvey to develop his independence. Support and training would be provided to Harvey’s personal assistant by his treating therapists and Case Manager meaning this role would provide excellent opportunities for a dedicated person to develop existing skills whilst supporting a fun and engaging boy.
This is a truly rewarding role for someone who can communicate effectively and has the ability to work with patience, tact, understanding, warmth and compassion.
