We are recruiting a female Support Worker to join a dedicated care team supporting a young male with complex medical and developmental needs in his family home. He is a cheeky, playful character who enjoys sensory play, music, tapping rhythms, being read to, and relaxing with TV. He is non‑verbal and engages through sound, touch, and sensory interaction.

This is a very busy household with parents, two siblings (both with ASD/ADHD), and a small dog. The home is also highly clinical, with multiple pieces of medical equipment in daily use.

• Drainage and feral bags
• Oral suction
• Nebuliser use

• Excellent spoken and written English, clear communication is vital
• Physically able to support a strong young person during movement and care tasks
• Non‑smoker (strictly required due to respiratory needs)
• Comfortable working in a lively home with siblings who have ASD/ADHD
