Meet Our Client

We are looking for a kind, caring, and enthusiastic Healthcare Assistant to support a vibrant 16-year-old girl with complex care needs at home in Runcorn.

She is a typical teenager with a love for make-up, taking an interest in her appearance, watching horror movies, and following shows like Stranger Things. She enjoys engaging in a wide range of social and leisure activities, including shopping, visiting the supermarket, going to the library, relaxing in coffee shops with her friends and carers, and listening to music.

Throughout the night, you will provide dedicated care, ensuring her needs are met while being vigilant to help her have a safe, comfortable, and restful sleep. This will include supporting her with personal care, safe moving and handling, and efficiently managing her complex clinical care needs.

This is an exciting opportunity to make a real difference in the life of a young girl, helping her feel supported, empowered, and able to enjoy her teenage years to the fullest.
