We are specifically seeking a carer who has experience working with children with complex needs and is fully trained and competent in the following areas:

Paediatric complex care experience (essential)

Epilepsy management

Important Note:
We have had applicants who did not have sufficient complex care experience, we are looking to shortlist only highly experienced candidates at this stage.
If you are only available a few days a week , this is ok as we are typically looking for a few carers to share the shifts throughout the week.
I look forward to receiving your applications and will be in contact.
We have a dedicated onboarding team who will ensure the correct safeguarding process prior to anyone meeting the client.
