About our client

Josh is 6 years old, living with his Mummy, Daddy, and little brother in their fully adapted home in Southwest London. His smile lights up any room; a real sweetie with the ability to wrap everyone around his little finger! Josh sustained a Perinatal Hypoxic Brain Injury at birth resulting in profound and complex medical needs. He has Dystonic Cerebral Palsy and Epilepsy. He requires suctioning, and receives all nutrition, fluid and medication via his PEG. He is unable to verbalise, using facial expressions, body language and sounds to communicate. ‘Team Josh’ is nurse-led and provides round the clock support working like a well-oiled machine to ensure he receives the highest level of care, support, and therapy input.

Role overview

Josh is supported on a 2:1 basis (day and night) and will be attending school regularly from September. The team follows a detailed care plan, providing support in all areas of his ADLs, complex care, and rehabilitation, which involves daily therapy input. Weekday shifts start with the school run, returning home to continue the afterschool and evening routine. Weekends are filled with activities, and Josh’s team enable participation in these activities. Bespoke training is provided; however, you must have training and experience in PEG, suctioning and seizure management.

Who this job would suit

You will come into this role with excellent experience in complex medical care, be compassionate, thoughtful with a nurturing nature, and enjoy working as part of a team. Josh and his family need someone who can see him for who he is, and his potential. You will be creative and enjoy playing games and singing songs / nursery rhymes.

What’s great about this job

Josh is an adorable little boy and you will be very fortunate to be part of his life and dedicated care team. There will be ongoing training, reviews, and support from the Team Leader and Case Management team.
