About this client/child: Felix is 10 years old; he is an active, intelligent, and determined young man who has recently become a big brother! Felix has a long list of hobbies and interests, including swimming, baking, story-time, socialising with his peers, and loves to be outdoors. He has dystonic cerebral palsy and epilepsy, and as a result, is dependent on others to meet all his care needs. Felix follows the ethos of Conductive Education, which means he is enabled by his support team to be as independent as possible in all his activities of daily living. He uses a communication device talker and is very capable of making his needs and wishes known; he loves general chit-chat! He lives in a fully adapted home with his family in West Sussex.

Felix requires 1:1 day and night (waking), and at times 2:1.

Overview of role: This is a dynamic position, one that will give you the opportunity to work hands on with Felix, in all areas of his care plan, ADL’s, self-help skills, and therapy programmes, whilst continually promoting his independence and working on his overall development. The team leader will work in collaboration with his therapists, conductor (conductive education), team members, parents and case management team. You will manage, lead a team that is growing, and moving to 2:1 support, and organise all aspects of training, supervisions, appraisals, coordinate the rota, manage annual leave / arrange cover, and manage the team day to day, team meetings, review care plans, update records and detail accurate information. This position will involve working a mixture of shifts, including days, weekends and waking nights. Shift pattern: Afternoon shifts start at 3.15 pm to 8.30 pm, weekends and school holidays offer 11-hour day shifts starting at 9.00 am and waking nights from 8.30 pm to 8.30 am.

What’s great about this job: A position that enables you to continue supporting your client day to day, seeing the difference your leadership and management is making. A permanent position working within a friendly family environment, with a large MDT and family that are extremely supportive.
