The waking night shift starts at 19:00pm. You will assist him with his evening and bedtime routine, once settled you will continually monitor him throughout the night, tending to all his needs and completing any paperwork/reports from the shift. There is a carer’s room with a comfortable chair and desk. There is the opportunity to travel with the family to support R on his family holidays – you will need a valid Passport. Training is provided in all aspects of his care plan, whilst previous experience supporting a young person with additional needs is an advantage, it is not essential.

This position will suit an enthusiastic, responsible, flexible and patient carer. This is an excellent opportunity for a dedicated person to develop existing skills, and support this very special little boy. This is a very rewarding role, and you will become part of R’s dedicated team. The family is fully supportive. You will have the opportunity to work alongside experienced therapists and carers.
