Main duties of the job

Meet Our Client

A young lovable 3-year-old boy who enjoys interacting with his family and dedicated care team. He loves swimming, sensory lights, soft play and being outdoors.

As part of his care team during the day, you will provide a vital role in supporting him with his daily needs, clinical care and ensuring that he thrives both at home and while attending nursery.

You will also provide essential overnight care. His evenings typically begin around 6pm, starting with a bath and providing clinical care. He enjoys his playtime to wind down before settling to sleep, usually around 10pm. An essential part of his bedtime routine is having a star light/projector and a soft blanket to settle him to sleep.

We are looking for staff who are flexible to cover both day and night shifts.
