Personal Trainer And Personal Care Support - Part Time - Kohimarama

We're looking for a Casual Personal Trainer and Support Worker to assist two fun and easy-going diverse-abled 18 year olds on the Autism Spectrum with Personal Cares and Access Outings to their local gym and community.
You would work with either one, one to one, for 2-3 hour sessions once or twice a week. Our preference is on a Saturday morning but we would be flexible. They have been attending the same gym for a number of years, they are well known there and it's a friendly and inclusive environment.
As their support person you would not pay for gym entry and we would pay other expenses such as food or drinks and travel. You need your own transport and an unencumbered full drivers licence to get them there and back. Your support will enable them to maintain a healthy lifestyle, an excellent level of personal care, and a fashionable, age-appropriate dress sense. Activities will include gym exercise but also accessing their local community (e.g. taking the dog for a walk on Kohimarama beach, going out to a coffee shop or restaurant for a meal after the gym, perhaps sometimes returning books to the local Library). We can organise access to information about, and strategies to work/communicate with, teens on the autism spectrum but you need to be: Caring, empathetic, friendly, supportive and keen to help out another young person Mindful of reciprocal, contingent, multimodal communication styles depending on the situation at hand Self-motivated, independent and responsible (yet easy-going) A good driver with a reliable vehicle Having personal experience with neuro-diversity or someone on the Autism Spectrum in your life would be ideal but not imperative so long as you come with an open mind. We will support you along the way, the kids are very easy going. The role involves one or two 2-3hr shifts per week, with either one of the twins. Hours of work vary depending on your availability, the children’s personal goals and schedules or family circumstances. The hourly rate depends on your experience and qualifications, $23-35per hour and expenses such travel and food (incurred during work) are paid on top of that. If this sounds like you, please apply now!
