Job Description

What you'll do

We are looking for compassionate and reliable carers to join a dedicated care team supporting a friendly individual living with Neuromyelitis Optica. Due to this condition, the client uses a ventilator and requires full support with all aspects of daily living, including mobility and personal care.

The client is a sociable person with a close-knit, supportive family and partner who are actively involved in their care. The client can make decisions and is involved in all conversations and choices relating to their care. Communication is key, and the client engages well with carers to build positive, professional relationships.

This role involves providing personalised support, including assistance with drinking (the client enjoys tea with milk and no sugar - served with a straw, please - and the occasional Coke Zero), helping the client make the most of daily activities, and facilitating outings when possible. Social visits and trips out are also important to the client.

At home, the client enjoys watching Sunderland AFC matches, horse racing (with the occasional fun bet), and keeping up with social media using eye-gaze technology. The client also treasures their pets - three cats (Arthur, Martha, and Shadow) and a dog named Stan - who bring lots of joy and companionship.

This is a rewarding opportunity to make a real difference in someone's life, while becoming part of a warm and welcoming environment.

Qualifications

What you'll need

You will need previous experience with tracheostomy and ventilation, as well as plenty of care, compassion, and resilience, as we provide full nurse-led training.
