About the Role

This is a hands-on, human-first role supporting a young man with learning difficulties. He’s wheelchair-dependent and needs hoisting support, personal care, and compassionate presence across set morning, evening, and weekend shifts.

Every day you’ll be helping someone live better – whether it’s starting their day with confidence or getting settled in for the night with peace of mind. The shifts are double-handed, so you’ll never be alone on the job, and you’ll also support other clients in the area to complete your weekly hours.

If you’re someone who believes in impactful work over busywork, this is for you. You’ll be joining a team that treats caregiving not just as a job, but as a calling.

Key Responsibilities

• Help with personal care to maintain comfort and hygiene
• Use safe hoisting techniques for transfers to and from bed
• Assist with meals and medication prep to ensure wellbeing
• Support with hospital visits and errands when needed
• Follow each client’s care plan while adapting to real-life needs
• Build trust by being present and communicative
• Keep records and tasks aligned with safety and company policies
• Participate in training and skill development to grow with the role
