• Provide attentive 1:1 overnight care and support. On arrival, the individual will typically be asleep; duties focus on monitoring wellbeing throughout the night. Responsibilities include regular repositioning, checking and changing continence pads, and providing respiratory support as required (including cough assist, oxygen therapy, and suctioning).
• Morning duties include supporting the individual with personal care and hygiene, preparing them for school, and making their packed lunch. The role also involves full continence support and maintaining high standards of hygiene at all times.
• The individual is fully dependent on hoisting equipment for all transfers, so safe and confident use of hoists is essential.
