Job description

A LITTLE ABOUT MYSELF

I am 10 years old and I live in the Fairwater area of Cardiff. I have Global Developmental Delay. That means some things take me a bit longer to learn than other children my age, but I get there and I love trying new things.

My favourite things to do are arts and crafts. I love painting, making things and being creative. I also really enjoy going out to activities and I like being in the community when it is the right sort of thing for me.

I am looking for someone who is kind and patient and who will have fun with me. Someone who gets what I enjoy and will join in with me, not just watch from the side.

PURPOSE OF JOB

To spend time with me doing the things I enjoy, including arts and crafts and going out to suitable activities. To support me in a way that suits my needs and helps me feel confident and happy.

HOURS OF WORK

4 hours per week

RATES OF PAY

£15.55 per hour

  • Help me feel confident and comfortable in the things we do together
  • Keep my family updated on how things are going and let them know if anything needs to be shared

TYPE OF PERSON REQUIRED

  • Has experience of working with children, especially children with additional needs or developmental delay
