You will work in the family home, where he lives with his parents and siblings. Due to his medical condition, the client requires full support and constant monitoring. Key duties will include providing tracheostomy care, assisting with PEG feeding for some of his nutrition, administering medication, and offering personal care. Given his limited mobility, he requires full assistance with positioning, and you will use various equipment, including a ceiling hoist, to help with this. While he is non-verbal, he communicates through subtle gestures that, once understood, allow you to recognise his needs and feelings. This is a rewarding role for someone who is professional, empathetic, and dedicated to providing high-quality care. Qualifications What you’ll need You don’t need any care experience to apply for this role, just plenty of care, compassion, and resilience as we provide full nurse-led training.
