Brief

An exciting opportunity to work as HCA/carer to a young girl in Easton. Candidates will be working 1:1 with the child in her home. Employees will report to and will be responsible to the parents who are the employers (interviews will be held in their home)

About me

I am a very energetic, happy and cheerful young girl who was born with medical needs. Due to these, I breathe through a tube called a tracheostomy and fed through gastrostomy. I also cannot hear and speak. I have a weak immune system which means I can easily catch chest infections so people around me must take extra care in not spreading any bugs or viruses to me.

My parents need help in taking care of me and ensuring that my health needs are met and my well-being upheld. I am unable to walk independently so would need help in mobilising and moving from one place to another. I would also need assistance in performing my daily activities. You will report to and will be responsible my parents as the employers.
