Throughout the day, you will support him with his daily routines, including personal care, medication administration, and attending to his clinical care needs as required.

During night shifts, you will be responsible for ensuring his comfort and safety, remaining alert to his needs, and supporting him to have a settled and restful sleep. This is a truly rewarding opportunity to make a meaningful difference in the life of a wonderful young man.
