A healthcare provider in Brighouse is seeking a caregiver to provide complex care for a non-verbal individual. The role requires experience with medical tasks such as PEG feeding and tracheostomy care, ensuring personalized support tailored to the individual's needs. You will collaborate closely with the family and work a rolling rota with 24 hours per week. Benefits include a competitive hourly rate of £13.50, fully paid DBS, and employee wellbeing initiatives.
O lives at home with his parents and younger sibling. He communicates using eye gaze technology and facial expressions, as he is non‑verbal. O uses his eyes to direct people to what he wants and enjoys making choices about his daily activities. He knows his own mind and is clear about his likes and dislikes. O enjoys watching TV and DVDs, and his support worker helps him plan and complete other enjoyable activities when on shift. O accesses the community in his mobility vehicle, which his dad drives, and he also attends college, where he enjoys spending time with support staff.
The ideal candidate will have previous experience working within complex care or a healthcare environment and be in good general health, as the role involves moving and handling. You'll work closely with O's family and healthcare network to deliver person-centred care tailored to his individual needs. Experience with PEG feeding, cerebral palsy, tracheostomy care (including suctioning and cough assist), use of nebulisers, manual handling, pressure care, and personal care would be highly beneficial to ensure the best possible support for O.
