Care Assistant

Job Description

What you'll do

We are looking for a caring, patient and experienced care professional to support a child with complex medical needs, including cerebral palsy, epilepsy, dystonia and severe learning difficulties. He is PEG-fed via a Mini Button and requires oxygen support during sleep and when unwell, alongside support with his other medical needs.

We are looking for someone who can provide safe, compassionate care while making his days fun and enjoyable. He loves sensory activities, music, lights, loud noises and massage, and especially enjoys messy play – particularly when he can get his feet involved! A friendly, enthusiastic approach and a genuine passion for helping him explore, enjoy new experiences and get the most out of life are essential.

Qualifications

Experience working in complex care would be highly desirable, but not essential for this position. You would have to be okay to work with pets, due to there being a dog in the household.

You must also have access to a full driving license and your own vehicle, due to the location of the role being rural.

• Free DBS check – we cover the full cost of the DBS application

• Career growth - clear progression into senior & leadership roles
