Special needs support worker - weekends, ongoing Axcis are looking for a experienced special needs support worker to support a young boy on a Saturday or Sunday for 4 hours every weekend. This work is through the council that we help from time to time. This would be an ongoing arrangement for as long as the support is needed. The child has learning difficulties and requires support so his father has some spare time to action personal matters where by otherwise he would not usually have the time. This young boy is quite active, so we would ideally be looking for someone who does not mind spending time outdoors and either biking or hiking. We are looking for someone who has lots of empathy, experience supporting special needs either in a care or school or even other background. They will need to be able to handle some behaviours associated with the boy's condition in a positive and compassionate manner. As we often get other cases from the council - there will also be other opportunities to help other children who may need similar support either on weekends or in the evenings. The ideal candidate will need to be able to build relationships with both the child and the parents in order to make the placement as successful as possible.
