CARERS NEEDED FOR DISABLED CHILDREN IN CEREDIGION

• Could you make a difference to children’s lives?

• Can you help us expand our services for disabled children living in Ceredigion?

• Would you enjoy the challenge of caring from your own home?

Tim Plant Anabl Ceredigion disabled Children’s Team, Short Breaks Service, hopes to recruit either an individual or couple/family who could look after disabled children for short breaks within their own home.

Such care enhances the lives of disabled children and young people by giving opportunities for new experiences and increased independence, whilst giving families a break from caring.

Retained Family Link Carers are a vital part of our family based short  breaks service, offering care to a minimum of 3 children (at different times) for agreed periods of time, such as weekends or longer periods during holidays. You will receive payment and some extra expenses. You are entitled to sickness and holiday leave.

Training and ongoing support are given. Applicants will need to be assessed and approved within Ceredigion Social Services Department before commencing the role.

We would welcome any enquiries for this role; please contact Gill Harries, Short Breaks Social Worker at Tim Plant Anabl Ceredigion, Disabled Children’s Team, 9 Market Street, Aberystwyth, Telephone 01970 627016 for further information.
