Nestled in the breathtaking West Yorkshire countryside lies our tranquil haven. Our luxurious converted barn house offers more than just a place to work; it's a home away from home. Complete with modern amenities, including electrical car charging ports, two cozy bedrooms, a fully equipped kitchen, and high-speed internet, our accommodation ensures your comfort while you focus on what matters most - providing exceptional care.

About the Role:

You'll be supporting a remarkable 25-year-old gentleman with complex care needs. Despite facing challenges, he attends college five days a week and embraces life with resilience. Your role involves administering medications, overseeing suction procedures, and providing compassionate support during hydrotherapy sessions.

  • Conducting regular suction procedures and monitoring the client's condition closely to anticipate and respond to any changes promptly.
  • Collaborating with healthcare professionals to develop and implement personalized care plans tailored to the client's unique needs and preferences.
  • Supervising and coordinating a team of carers to ensure consistent and high-quality care delivery, including training new staff members and providing ongoing support and guidance.

 

About You:

Experience with epilepsy, manual handling techniques, and administering medications is essential. Moreover, your ability to supervise and coordinate a team demonstrates your leadership skills and dedication to excellence.
