Care Assistant

What you’ll do

You will provide person-centred care and support to a cheerful 7-year-old boy with chronic lung disease, helping him thrive in his local primary school environment. Your day will begin at his home, where you'll accompany him safely to school, and conclude by escorting him home again.

Key responsibilities include:

• Personal care and hygiene
  Tracheostomy care and peg management
• Equipment checks throughout your shift

You'll support his health needs while encouraging safe self-feeding and promoting independence wherever possible. During the school day, you’ll help him engage fully in classroom and social activities, whether he's playing with his favourite toy cars, learning with classmates, or spending time with friends.

This is a rewarding opportunity to build your clinical skills and make a real difference in a child’s daily life, all while being part of a supportive care team.
