What you'll do

A compassionate and reliable professional care worker is sought to support a young boy with complex disabilities in the Newton Hall area of Durham. You will work in the family home, where he lives with his parents and siblings.


Due to his medical condition, the client requires full support and constant monitoring. Key duties will include providing

tracheostomy care

, assisting with

PEG feeding

for some of his nutrition, administering

medication

, and offering

personal care

. Given his limited mobility, he requires full assistance with positioning, and you will use various equipment, including a

ceiling hoist

, to help with this. While he is non-verbal, he communicates through subtle gestures that, once understood, allow you to recognise his needs and feelings.


This is a rewarding role for someone who is professional, empathetic, and dedicated to providing high-quality care.
