Would you like to support a 20 year old lady to lead her best life?
An exciting opportunity has arisen for a support worker to join a team of carers to assist a funny, caring, and lovely young lady with cerebral palsy in the Oakwood, Enfield area.
We would love to hear from you if you want to support someone to lead as independent life as possible, would expect to offer personal support respectfully, caring as you would want to be cared for yourself.

Our client moved into her own home in 2024 and is now loving life in her own home.

Most weekends she visits her parents, brother and sister who live nearby and she stays in contact with her grandparents, aunties and cousins.
Our client has a staff team who work with her 24 hours a day and there are always two people working at the same time. Our client requires support for all aspects of daily living, and this includes manual handling tasks and administering feeds and medication via a mickey button.
