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.
