REF HS/ABC


Our 9-year-old client, who has complex Cerebral Palsy, is looking for a Support Worker who will support him out in the community, or whilst enjoying playing with his toys at home and spending time with his family at home.

If you have at least one year's experience in pediatric care, we would love to hear from you.


The Role/Client:


  • H lives at home with his parents. He has complex needs including cerebral palsy, dystonia and epilepsy.
