In terms of soft skills like empathy, communication, teamwork, etc., I think the company culture and a mentor can guide this developer.

Talking about hard skills, I think it's necessary to have a good administration of the resources from the mid/senior developers, for example, IAM (Identity & Access Management). I would also encourage the junior developer(s) to take courses or read books to improve their programming skills. After taking such training, I would test them with a small project.

If you have tried and tried, You don't need this kind of person in your life. Continue on and make relationships with people which show empathy and good intentions.
