Could you help a little one grow up at home, with their

family?

We're looking for a caring, patient carer to join a small

team supporting a young child who needs specialised care. Because of that care,

this child can be at home with the people who love them rather than in

hospital.

You'll be there for the everyday moments: bath time,

cuddles, play, bedtime routines and the milestones in between. You'll also give

the family peace of mind, knowing their child is in safe hands while they rest,

work or spend time together.

The role

The child has a tracheostomy and requires oxygen. You'll

receive full training in their care, with 24/7 clinical support whenever you

need it. Working alongside the family and the child's healthcare professionals,

you'll keep them safe and comfortable and help them enjoy their day.

What you'll do

Provide one-to-one care with dignity and compassion,

following the child's care plan and risk assessments.

Carry out tracheostomy and clinical observations and

medication administration (full training provided).

Support personal care, moving and handling, and daily

routines.

Keep accurate, up-to-date care records.

Work closely with the family, healthcare professionals and

the wider care team.

What you'll gain

Specialist paediatric clinical training and ongoing

development.

Tracheostomy and ventilation competencies you can take

into nursing or other complex care roles.

The same client and the same team every shift.

24/7 clinical support.

Clear routes for career progression.

Fully funded Enhanced DBS.

Referral bonus of up to 250.

What we're looking for

Essential:

Experience caring for babies or young children, in a paid

role, nursing placement or professional childcare setting.

At least 6 months' UK care experience.

Moving and handling experience.

A calm, gentle and reliable approach, and the confidence

to stay composed if something changes quickly.

The right to work in the UK (we cannot offer sponsorship).

Desirable:

Paediatric complex care experience.

Tracheostomy or ventilation experience.

NVQ Level 2 or 3 in Health and Social Care, or current

nursing or childcare studies.

Shifts

10 hours shifts, both days and nights available

Please note

This role is open to female applicants only. Being female is

an occupational requirement under Schedule 9 of the Equality Act 2010 due to

the personal care needs of this package.
