Main duties of the job

Meet Our Client

We are looking for compassionate and experienced Healthcare Assistants to support a young man in his early 20s who lives in a warm and welcoming family home.

He enjoys storybooks, music, and sensory lights and toys, and especially enjoys calm interactions such as gentle head massages. He is unable to communicate verbally but expresses himself through facial expressions and, over time, becomes familiar with voices, forming strong and trusting relationships with those who care for him.

During the day, he attends college with the support of his care team. At night, you will assist with his bedtime routine and provide attentive monitoring to ensure his clinical needs are safely met in a calm and reassuring environment.

His family are closely involved in his care, creating a supportive environment where carers are valued as part of the team. We are looking for Healthcare Assistants who are confident in supporting clinical needs while also bringing warmth, positivity, and engaging him in the activities he enjoys.
