J is ten years old, he is a happy sociable little boy. He sleeps and eats well. He enjoys lots of things but especially water, music, singing and clapping. J has Pitt Hopkins Syndrome. He cannot walk or talk but he communicates his needs in his own way once you get to know him and he bum shuffles to great effect.
J lives with his parents, three older siblings and family pet (a Jack Russell named Rocco) in the family home in Wetherden near Stowmarket.
Most of the work will take place in our family home but also on family days out with J.
J needs help eating, washing and toileting. Occasionally he gets distressed on family days out and would need his Carer to help comfort or distract him. Having a Carer for J will allow the family to spend more time together.
J requires help with transfers. J is a wheelchair user, but the Carer does not need to have a wheelchair car as we will provide transport for J.
The successful candidate will be responsible to J’s parents. In the course of the work the Carer will have access to sensitive and confidential information. This should not be discussed outside of work unless disclosure is in the best interests of J or his siblings i.e. due to a safeguarding issue.

----------------------------------
I’m a young man that lives with my parents. I’m active and interested in a variety of activities from football to arts and crafts. I like to go out to the cinema, gym, swimming, bowling and socialising with friends. I need someone to help me with organisation, planning and developing my independence with everything, from handling cash to cooking. I need assistance to progress towards my long-term dream of independence within a supported living environment, while still living a normal life. I do not need any help with personal care, and ideally want to have someone that mainly supports me out in the community with a fun and creative activities rather than remain in my family home all the time. I find it difficult to organise gatherings with my friends to actually make it happen. The support you could offer me will be very individual to your own skills set, as I’m looking for someone to inspire me to try new things.
