Meet Our Client

A cheeky boy with an infectious smile. He enjoys watching TV, unwinding with head massages and cuddles and loves soaking up attention from his family and care team.

You’ll carry out his bedtime routine, ensuring his comfort and create a calming environment to support a restful night’s sleep.

In addition, you will oversee his care needs and manage his clinical interventions as required.

At night, he is usually asleep when his care team arrives. He often sleeps well through the night, but should he wake, you will gently help him settle back to sleep by offering his iPad or turning on the TV.
