ABOUT THE ROLE 

I am a little girl born in 2020 with complex health care needs, and need full support with living my everyday life. I live at home with my Mummy, Daddy and two older sisters. 

I was born prematurely; and was very ill when I was born. As a result, I have respiratory support needs and a tracheostomy in place, and may need support with oxygen therapy and suctioning. 

I am able to eat and drink small amounts orally, but this is not enough to meet my nutritional needs. Therefore, I have a PEG fitted to ensure I have my daily nutritional requirements met. I need support 24/7 which includes full supervision throughout the night (waking nights), and day to provide with the stimulus I need to grow and learn. 

I will need full support with my tracheostomy, oxygen, suction, PEG feeding, gastrostomy care, personal care and medication administration. ABOUT YOU Due to my needs, I ideally would like someone with complex care experience with children. I like people who are talkative and fun! I also need my team to be flexible as I require support 24/7. I need a bank worker who can work days and waking nights to cover for my usual staff if they are on holiday or are ill. 

BENEFITS 

In return for your dedication, you’ll receive a competitive rate of pay in addition to: 

5.6 weeks holiday per year (pro-rata for part-time positions).

Opportunity to join our Cash Back Health Plan, after successful completion of the probation period. Free training and development for all roles.
