Job Description

What you'll do

This rewarding, person-centred role involves supporting a young girl in the Hodge Hill area of Birmingham within her family home. Mum is seeking someone with experience in suctioning and PEG care, alongside a bubbly, kind, and nurturing personality who can gently encourage her daughter to engage in activities. The client enjoys watching TV, listening to music, reading, using her iPad, and spending time out of the house, and thrives on good company, becoming distressed if left alone or without engaging interaction. She has sensory processing difficulties and can be sensitive to noise or busy environments, so a calm, patient approach and the ability to offer reassurance is essential. This position is ideal for a compassionate and respectful individual who is confident delivering complex care while providing emotional support in a home setting.
