He likes to be spoken to even though communication is very difficult for him. But he also often also needs a lot of care as he can have seizures or other health issues which lead to him needing to spend time in hospital.

Please read this full ad before we discuss the position further. What’s great about this job: Fantastic training opportunities, with a thorough handover, from long-standing members of staff who know the young person and his family very well.
