EVERYONE - STA, IHC, SIL
Client care
1. Ensure participant/s are active during the shift - motivate them to get out and do stuff!! Be happy and excited yourself. (don't say ''do you want to do''....say....''guess what we're doing today''!!) (USE ACTIVE NOT PASSIVE VOICE)
2. Get your participant to contribute to the housework (as much as they are able) teach them skills along the way
3. Take great photos
4. Don't play on your phone - be present and attentive for your participant. Watch movies with them, play board and card games and if they are on devices - sit with them and ask questions.
5. Don't leave the participant on their own, always keep them in direct line of sight. (If you need to use the toilet, let them know where you are - if possible get another worker to watch, if on your own...be quick!)
6. Check doors at night to make sure participants can't exit undetected (STA only)
7. Rise in the morning with your participants - set your alarm if you know that they wake early. (remember we pay for 4 hours of wake time between 9 pm and 7 am).
STA Only
8. Ensure padlocks are on medication, pool gates, fridges etc. Ensure participants know about the after-hours snacks fridge so that they can access food as they require.
Property care
1. Check bathrooms for cleanliness
2. Keep the living and kitchen areas tidy and neat - clean up as you go and model for your participant
3. BEFORE RETIRING FOR NIGHT - all properties, check doors and gates are locked and all cars are locked.
4. Ensure any onsite pets (ie. guinea pigs) have a clean environment with fresh water and food.
Team support
1. In group support situations - make sure you contribute equally to meal prep and clean up of whole property. Don't be lazy and leave work to others. Males and females both need to cook and clean. (we pay everyone the same!)
2. Feed and water the guinea pigs and put new straw in
