About the Client:

Our client is in his 70s with a brain injury from a scooter accident. He has weakness in his right arm and leg, affecting mobility, and suffers from vertigo, mild epilepsy, intermittent hearing loss, and tinnitus.

Key Responsibilities:

• Provide emotional support, therapeutic interaction, and companionship.
• Maintain accurate records of care provided and report any changes in the client's condition.
• Collaborate with healthcare professionals and family members to ensure comprehensive care.

Requirements:

• Experience in a similar role, preferably with brain injury experience.
• Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
• Energetic, upbeat, and empathetic personality.
• Interest in trains and motorbikes.
• Ability to work independently and as part of a team.
• Flexibility to work the specified hours.
• Supportive and friendly working environment.
• Opportunities for professional development and training.
• DBS check paid for.
