Do you want to make a BIG difference to our family?

Are you someone who is competent, caring, and conscientious with a sense of humour who would like to work in a busy lively family home?

Then we might be just who you are looking for! We need people who are all of the above to support our two year old son through the night and the day.
Our son is stuck in a body that does not work. He can barely move. He cannot sit up, breathe, feed or move without support, but this doesn’t stop him!

A note from our son:
I love to be around other children, to watch Paw Patrol, to splash in a warm pool, paint with my hands and to be read stories. When I am feeling adventurous I like to ice skate (in my buggy), be bounced on a trampoline, feel reptiles and see the pigs at farm. I need someone to help me do these things. Can you?

Experience or previous training is not essential but a good positive, flexible attitude and willingness to learn and undertake training (will include tracheostomy, gastrostomy, medication and physio needs) is a must. The skills you will need to bring are fun, and a determination to support us to lead an ordinary family life so we can all - especially our son – play, stay safe, and be a part of the world.
If you feel passionate about supporting our family you can request an application pack by emailing.

Post is subject to DBS check and references.
