Working in healthcare can be incredibly fulfilling as it allows you to make a positive impact on people's lives every day.

Upon arrival to his home, he will already be settled down for bed and often has a restful nights sleep with minimal interruptions. He will sometimes wake up in the early hours, but will often watch a DVD to settle down once again.

Overnight, you will offer comfort and reassurance when needed, promote a restful environment and provide close supervision and observations due to his respiratory needs. You will also carry out careful repositioning when needed, tend to his clinical interventions and ensure that his needs are met in a timely manner.

Please note, there is a family dog in the property so it is essential that you are comfortable around animals.
