About the Role
We are currently looking for an experienced personal assistant to support a young boy with complex health needs. Nathan is non-verbal, wears a hearing aid, has heart issues, global developmental delay, mobility issues and genetic conditions. He is currently PEG-fed but is in the process of being introduced to oral feeding and has a stoma bag that requires regular care to keep it emptied and clean. Due to his complex needs, Nathan has no awareness of danger and always requires full supervision.
Nathan attends a specialist school where he has adapted well. He would love a personal assistant who can provide personal care and support within the family home where he lives with his parents and sibling, accompany him to community outings in warmer weather, and support his mum to engage him in activities at home.
Experience working with children with complex needs is essential, and a clean current UK licence is required as driving will be necessary.
Some domestic tasks, including meal preparation and medication administration, may be required. Full training will be provided for these tasks.
For more information, please see the Job Description.
This vacancy will close as soon as a suitable candidate is appointed.
At the time of starting their employment, the successful candidate must have permission to work in the U.K.
