About the role:

This role is to support a 13 year old girl with complex clinical health needs (our client has a ventilator to support her breathing while she sleeps) in her family home overnight. This role is to stay awake overnight to monitor and manage her clinical equipment. Full specialist training will be provided.

Waking nights (9pm-7am) 2-3 nights a week. Flexibility for weekdays and weekends required.

In this role, you’ll support one individual with complex needs as part of a consistent care team, with regular weekly shifts and rotas planned in advance. While the role is offered on a flexible zero-hours contract, the work is ongoing and typically provides a stable working pattern with the same client.

• Advanced monthly rotas

• Refer a friend and earn up to £1,500
• A chance to build a meaningful career with the backing of a leading clinical and business team

We are an equal opportunites employer. However due to the needs of this client, we are only able to accept applications from female support workers under genuine occupational requirements (Equality Act 2010). At Active Assistance we want everyone to feel welcome and supported. We encourage applications from people of all backgrounds and experiences. If you need any reasonable adjustments during the recruitment or interview process, just let us know and we’d be very happy to discuss this with you.
