We’re looking for a kind, flexible Carer or Support Worker to help two sociable young men with complex health needs live life to the fullest at home in Mansfield.

ABOUT THE ROLE

We are twin young men with complex health needs who live at home with our dad and friendly dog. We’re sociable, love music, laughter, and time outdoors, and use wheelchairs and specialist equipment for mobility. We’re looking for a caring, reliable Personal Assistant to join our friendly close-knit team, mainly for waking nights with some day shifts. The role involves personal care and clinical support including tracheostomy and suctioning, PEG feeding, and seizure monitoring.

You’ll be joining a supportive home care setup where our dad takes an active, hands-on role. It’s important that you’re comfortable working within a family home, following guidance while being proactive and confident in your care.

ABOUT YOU

You’ll be caring, reliable, and confident supporting complex needs clients. Experience with tracheostomy, cough assist, PEG, or epilepsy is helpful, but full training and ongoing support are provided. If you’re warm, flexible, and want to make a real difference as part of a family team, we’d love to hear from you.

Flexibility is important, our rota varies, but we can usually offer some in return to suit your needs. Night shifts are typically 12 hours, with shorter day shifts available.

BENEFITS

In return for your dedication, you’ll receive a competitive rate of pay in addition to:

● 5.6 weeks holiday per year (pro-rata for part-time positions).

● Company pension scheme after 3 months’ service, subject to the scheme rules.

● Opportunity to join our Cash Back Health Plan, after successful completion of the probation period.

● Free training and development for all roles.

● Access to wellbeing and support tools.

● ‘Star of the Month’ rewards and ‘Long Service Awards’.

And so much more!
