Main duties of the job

Meet Our Client

A happy and sociable young boy who lives at home with his family and their pet dog in Ormskirk. He enjoys going for walks, baking, and engaging in arts and crafts.

He is reliant on his care team for all aspects of his day-to-day care and uses a manual wheelchair for mobility. He is unable to communicate verbally and does so through gestures, facial expressions, and eye contact.

Your role will involve providing personal care and managing his clinical interventions throughout the day, as well as ensuring his comfort and safety. You will also support and participate in activities he enjoys, providing lots of encouragement.
