They will support and advise carers on alternative skill learning for the child, using a range of strategies customised to the age, needs and development of the child. HS will be required to work with school staff, along with other professionals, to develop the child's independence when travelling to, being at and returning home from school. This includes developing their independence skills in many areas of personal life such as dressing skills, personal care and eating, safe travel, shopping, and leisure activities. HS will need to assess children and then make recommendations based on the child's age, need and developmental stage. The HS will then offer training programmes which are bespoke and written for the child's individual needs. The HS will need to keep and submit accurate records, monitoring reports and final report paperwork. The HS will need to adhere to all NNC health and safety, Risk Management, Data Management, and quality requirements. The Contract will run for a minimum of twelve (12) Months, with the option for one (1) further twelve (12) Month extension, in essence a maximum twenty-four (24) Month Contract.
