Safe technique, patience, and attention to the client’s comfort are key. • Communication & Behavioural Support You will support a client who values clear, respectful communication and consistency in their daily routine. Building trust and maintaining a supportive approach is key to their sense of autonomy. Other details: • 12-hour shift patterns (7 am – 7pm, 7 pm- 7 am) regular and consistent, providing you with stability • Days of work: Friday - Sunday • 24/7 rotational shifts – flexibility is required to cover any gaps when needed. • Join a supportive team that works together to provide consistent, respectful care for clients with complex needs—where every team member is valued and backed.
