Requirements: Interest working with children and young adults
We have a rewarding opportunity for the right person to work with an individual living in their family home in Dunscroft, Doncaster.

But it’s not just about care – it’s about having fun, being creative, and socialising!

* Complex Care (such as tracheostomy and gastrotomy management and non-invasive ventilation)
Previous experience in care is helpful but not required; a love for people and a desire to make a difference is key!
What will your shift involve?
In this role, you will be providing high-quality care on a 1:1 ensuring that the individual you support receives compassionate and attentive care tailored to their specific needs. Your responsibilities will include assisting with maintaining a safe airway, including tracheostomy care and management, PEG feeding, ensuring proper ventilation and comfort. Additionally, you will support with household tasks to maintain a clean and organised living environment that fosters comfort and independence. Clear and confident communication in their preferred manner will be essential to building a strong and trusting relationship.
