Meet Our Client

We are supporting an engaging young girl who enjoys story time, exploring sensory lights, and taking part in arts and crafts activities.

She loves trips to the beach in her buggy, walks in the park, sensory play, and thrives during hydrotherapy sessions. She particularly enjoys her time in her educational setting, where she benefits from social interaction, a lively classroom environment, and structured daily activities.

During day shifts, you will support her with her daily routines, assist with attending her educational setting and other activities, and help her engage in the hobbies she loves.

You will remain attentive to her complex care needs while creating a nurturing, stimulating, and supportive environment where she can thrive.

During night shifts, you will provide vigilant monitoring and compassionate care, ensuring her comfort, safety, and overall wellbeing in a calm and soothing environment.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.

Our client has specifically requested female care staff to join their team.
