  • Knowledge of Makaton would be useful but training can be provided
  • Experience with Epilepsy is strongly recommended
  • Flexibility in working hours, particularly during half-term periods.
  • Confident around animals (the family has dogs, horses, and rabbits)
  • A nurturing and flexible approach to care

Requirements:

  • Competitive pay and flexible hours
  • Client-specific training provided
  • Collaboration with a fantastic multidisciplinary therapy team (OT, Physio, and Speech & Language)
