My Requirements

Evening babysitter wanted

Private household - we are not a children’s home or care home.
£13.34ph/ Kettering area.
evenings only

To support a 15 (nearly 16) year old at home or in the community.

They have complex medical and learning needs including ADHD, Autism and overnight CPAP support requiring adult supervision 24hrs a day.

evenings are needed for our respite as required. A regular Wednesday evening is available from September to support them with social and extracurricular activities.

You would benefit from being autism-aware and thick-skinned. To be gaming, YouTube and APP savvy and able to initiate conversation with young people.

This is not an agency position. The service user is my son and you’d be employed directly by us. We offer guaranteed contracted hours. Our workers must be over 18 due to lone working.

To apply please msg me detailing either your experience or what you think you could bring to our team.

The young person breathes through a small tube in his neck called a tracheostomy. Our support workers are trained to monitor this and are able to respond to an emergency should it arise, to ultimately maintain a safe airway. We have trained people from all walks of life and after 15 years, we are safe in the knowledge and experience that nobody needed to have been a nurse beforehand. It would help however not to be squeamish.

The young person needs support 24 hours a day and this includes in the community. He cannot currently go anywhere on his own. He attends various social groups with our support workers. He would like to attend a board games club at Youth Works in Kettering on a Wednesday evening in term time.

We are looking for individuals who can bring out the best in our son. He is autistic, quirky and somewhat socially awkward, but he’s kind and responds well surrounded by positivity.
