Meet Our Client
We are seeking caring, reliable, and compassionate Healthcare Assistants to join a dedicated team supporting a friendly lady with complex care needs in her own home. She has congenital muscular dystrophy, which affects her muscle strength and mobility, and requires ongoing support with daily living and clinical care.

She also enjoys jigsaws, board games like Scrabble and Monopoly, and watching TV shows including EastEnders, The Simpsons, and Police Interceptors.
She is a huge fan of Charmed and has an impressive collection of memorabilia from the show. She also enjoys getting out in the community, with activities such as bowling, arcades, and shopping trips. In this role, you will provide person-centred care, including personal care, medication administration, and bespoke moving and handling.
You will also support with clinical tasks such as PEG feeding, ventilation management, and other aspects of her complex care needs
This is a rewarding role for someone who is focused, energetic, and passionate about helping others live full and enjoyable lives.
