ABOUT THE ROLE I am an 18-year-old young man looking for kind, caring, patient and dedicated individuals to support me within my family home environment. I have complex health care needs and require full time support during the day and night.

I value stability in my care arrangements, ensuring my needs are met with minimal disruption. I enjoy trips out, cinema visits, parks, motorbikes, music and cooking. I thrive in a calm and positive environment with people who understand and respond well to my non-verbal communication.

This is a rewarding and varied role where the successful candidate will provide high-quality personal care and support tailored to my needs. Due to the complexity of care involved, full specialist training will be provided, and I am seeking someone committed to becoming a long-standing member of the team.

The ideal person for this role will have a genuinely caring nature, be respectful, patient, and flexible in adapting to the way I like and need to be supported. A positive attitude and a willingness to learn are key. You'll be guided by my family and established staff team so being a strong team player is essential.

On a day to day, you'll support me with all aspects of personal care and complex care support, including managing a complex medication regime, supporting with Mic-Key GJ feeding tube care, and assisting with epilepsy and dystonia care related to cerebral palsy.

The role will also involve maintaining accurate records and documentation, undertaking regular training competency updates and carrying out light household duties relevant to the role. There may be occasions where support is required within a hospital setting.

Close communication with my parents, colleagues and healthcare professionals will be essential.
