The role may involve facilitating Louie's participation in after-school clubs or helping the other boys with homework and club pickups.

Who this job would suit: The ideal candidate for this role will ideally have at least one year of experience working with children with additional needs and be comfortable providing personal care. The family is looking for someone engaging, fun, creative, energetic, and adventurous. The role is perfect for an individual ready to jump in and contribute to the family's busy routine.

About this client/child: Louie is a 10-year-old boy with a contagious smile and a joyful disposition. He enjoys a variety of activities such as soft play, swimming, attending the theatre, going for walks, and visiting funfairs. Louie is a fan of shows like Hey Duggee and Peppa Pig, as well as animated films. He has two younger brothers, Elliott (7) and Timmy (4), who are both bright and creative. Elliott is passionate about mathematics and word searches, while Timmy has a keen interest in trains and enjoys spending time at local playgrounds. The family enjoys outdoor adventures together, often going on bike rides. Louie was born with a rare chromosome disorder, which means he is non-verbal and has severe learning difficulties. He requires assistance with eating (pureed food only), drinking, and all aspects of personal care. Despite his challenges, Louie communicates effectively using facial expressions, Makaton, and a communication book. Although he is mobile, he uses a specialist
buggy for longer outings. Louie is smaller than his peers and sometimes experiences sensory processing issues, which can lead to behaviors like chewing, stimming, or rocking. He is a warm, engaging child with a lot of love to share.
