You would be assisting the young man with everyday skills and activities as well as feeding, bathing and toileting. It would be preferable if you are experienced with IC catheterisation otherwise we will train you. When working a waking overnight you will need to make sure that he is safe and alert parents in case of a seizure. You need to tidy and keep his environment clean and tidy. You should be responsible, cheerful, honest and very reliable and physically strong and healthy as he needs a lot of support and is immune compromised. You will be trained by members of the experienced team in all of his health needs but also the principles of ABA - a behaviour therapy. You will need to attend some of the team meetings too. There will be a general schedule but you will still need to be a bit flexible and sometime cover for other people in the team.
