Female Support Worker - Driver

Active Care in the Home is expanding our client base and is recruiting a brand-new team of Children's Support Workers to provide day time and overnight care for our young client in his family homes in Charlton and Welling. Our client is a young boy with complex care needs, including gastrostomy feeding (NBM), epilepsy, dystonia, mobility limitations, and sight and hearing impairments. You will be responsible for providing high-quality clinical support, including:

• Suctioning (nasopharyngeal and oral)
• Nebuliser therapy
• Physiotherapy support
• Oxygen saturation monitoring
• Indwelling catheter care (with a planned transition to a suprapubic catheter)
• POD temperature control
• Supporting with a range of clinical equipment
Our client lives between both his mum's and dad's homes in Charlton (SE7) and Welling (DA17), so flexibility to work across both locations is essential. Care is delivered on a double-handed basis. Our team will provide one Children's Support Worker per shift, working alongside an established support worker already in place.

We are particularly interested in candidates who have previous clinical care and epilepsy experience. A full UK driving licence is preferred, as you may be required to drive the client's mobility vehicle. Due to the nature of the role and the client's needs, non-smokers are preferred.

Join Active Care in the Home and become part of a dedicated team supporting a young boy with complex health needs in the comfort and familiarity of his family home. This is more than a care roleit's an opportunity to build a meaningful relationship, provide personalised, person-centred support, and help our client live safely, comfortably, and as independently as possible. Every shift is a chance to make a positive impact, not only in his life but also in the lives of those closest to him. If you're passionate about delivering compassionate, high-quality care and want to be part of a supportive team that puts the individual at the heart of everything we do, we'd love to hear from you.
