*** Great opportunity to join a small, family-based team ***

Are you caring, bright, enthusiastic, willing to learn a new skill and looking to join the care industry, or already an experienced carer? If so, we are looking for a night time carer to join our young son’s small support team. Experience of tracheostomy and ventilation care would be an advantage, but is not essential; full, certificated training will be provided.

The position is for 9-hour, night time waking shifts, for a 6-year-old boy who is happy, adventurous and very chatty. He has a tracheostomy and is ventilated overnight.

You will receive:

• A pension if eligible
• 6 weeks per year pro rata holiday
• Full certificated training on all aspects of the role
• The option of contracted hours or a casual contract, on a Personal Health Budget

Hours available:

• 18 to 36 hours per week (2 to 4 night shifts)
• There is the opportunity to work additional hours on occasions in relation to holidays and sickness
• Opportunities to increase the number of shifts in the future

What’s Required:

• Being able to carry out a waking shift, staying fully alert and vigilant
• Flexibility in working hours is essential to cover other team members
• Weekend work will be required
• Some shifts over public holidays (eg. Christmas) will be required. This will be shared with other team members
• Support with use and care of tracheostomy and ventilator. The use of a suction machine and nebulisers is required. Full training provided
• Support with life skills
• An enhanced DBS check (the cost will be met by the employer)
