SNAP Job: Overnight/Weekend Carer                                     Ref: V2126-ON

Description: We are seeking a care worker/enabler, preferably with experience with young people with Acquired Brain Injury, or who has at least worked within a residential school/home for children/young people with physical disabilities, learning difficulties and challenging behaviour. A' who is now 21 years old has an acquired brain injury from a bike accident. 'A' was 15 and due to take A levels and had a place at university to study Music when the accident happened. We have a lot more information about "A" and his needs, please click here for more details.

The family have just exchanged on a house in Brighton where "A" will move to with a team of carers. This role will start in Hildenborough and then relocate to Brighton. We are seeking someone who can work weekends (1 or 2 a month) plus two nights a week. This way the carer can get to know "A" and his needs during the day, but also learn his night routine and be in a position to be the trainer for the night carers in Brighton. We appreciate that it may be difficult in the first few months, but once the move to Brighton has happened, the team will be able to set up rotas which will hopefully suit everyone!

This is an exciting opportunity for someone who would really like to be part of a dynamic team who have already made a difference to "A's" life and will continue to do so into the future. There will be plenty of training opportunities.

Please note: any potential carers should live viable distances from both where 'A' lives at the moment in Tonbridge and from Brighton where he will be moving to in the near future.
