Carer required for child 13-14h per week (POSTED 25.3.24)

We have been awarded a package of support for 14 hours per week during term time and 13 hours a week during school holidays for our non-speaking son, who has full care needs (eating, pad changes, dressing, washing).
Our 13-year-old son is super chilled and likes people who can sing and read stories. He communicates using some signs, telepathy, and a communication device.
Dad is usually home at the same time we need care, but Dad is disabled himself and not strong enough to care for our son independently as he is himself wobbly on the stairs.
Our son uses a wheelchair but is independently mobile in the house and garden.
