We make a positive impact on entire families, nurturing their growth and working towards new achievements, always mindful of unique conditions and abilities. Our dedicated team continuously seeks new ways to improve and adapt our services, making a meaningful difference in the lives we touch.

Your Role

We are seeking a skilled Complex Care Healthcare Assistant to support an adult client with multiple, complex cognitive and physical medical needs. Competency in complex neurological care is essential, along with previous experience supporting clients with traumatic brain injury and epilepsy. You should have demonstrable knowledge of traumatic brain injury (TBI) rehabilitation, including the ability to support speech and language, physiotherapy, and occupational therapy. Experience in caring for clients with dysphagia is also advantageous.

Our client has a wide range of interests and particularly enjoys music, the arts, humanities, comedy, gardening, cooking, word games, puzzles, and sudoku. The ideal candidate will be reliable, compassionate and have a great sense of humour, with the confidence to engage in conversations around these topics and support meaningful interaction.

Alongside a strong understanding of our client’s personal preferences, clinical needs, and care plan, you must be able to remain calm and patient under pressure, with the ability to respond quickly, effectively managing emergency situations.

This role involves providing consistent 24/7 care within a home setting, including close monitoring, personal care, assistance with eating and drinking, and emotional support. Our client is non-verbal, has delayed processing and is at high risk of seizures. Strict adherence to care protocols, including reverse infection control is essential.

Clinical Skills Required Include

• Complex seizure management

• Oral suctioning

Communication And Sensory Needs

• Support is needed for delayed processing and memory retrieval
• Extra time is essential for verbal responses – no rushing
