Meet Our Client

Our client is a vibrant young woman in her late teens who lives at home with her family. She loves sharing her passions and interests with her care team, values socialising with friends, enjoys outings, and makes the most of every opportunity life brings. She is creative, with a passion for fashion, beauty, social media (especially TikTok), and art, as well as enjoying concerts, theatre, and musicals.

As a Healthcare Assistant, you will support her wellbeing, engage in her interests, and help her live life to the fullest. A genuine interest in her hobbies and a positive, enthusiastic approach are highly desirable.

You will support her both at college and at home, assisting with learning, personal development, social activities, daily care needs, and encouraging independence.

This is a rewarding opportunity for a compassionate, engaging Healthcare Assistant who is passionate about supporting a young person to thrive.
