Apply at UKCIL.com. Reference: 659f7a9d
An 8 year old boy requires day and night help at home from a caring and attentive individual who will treat him like a little boy who has the world to explore when he is well and when he is not he needs it bringing to his bedside.
Do you think you can help him access a world when he cannot move or lift his hand? At the same time as checking his breathing is ok?
He needs help so he can see the animals at the farm, bounce on a trampoline, stretch his aching muscles and broken body in a warm hydro pool whilst supporting his full weight.
Can you check for signs he is not too tired or in any discomfort? Can you take initiative to help with other care tasks and cleaning, whilst being mindful of how much screen time he has had, even when he can charm you with a smile and belly laugh without sound?
At night he needs help to maintain his airway, to move and position and to remain comfortable.
Can you help him get a good nights rest?
No experience does not limit you from applying. It is more important that you are the right person who will put this boys needs first and go the extra mile for him, and with him.
