Why This Role Matters

This isn’t just another care job — it’s an opportunity to make a life‑changing impact on a young girl living with Epidermolysis Bullosa (EB), a rare condition that makes her skin extremely fragile.

She is bright, engaging, and full of personality. With your support, she can continue living with confidence, comfort, and joy. Your presence will help her stay independent, feel safe, and experience the world in a way that feels empowering rather than limiting.

You won’t just be a care assistant.

You’ll be someone she can trust, rely on, and feel comfortable with — a consistent, positive influence during an important time in her life.

What You’ll Do

You’ll play a key role in her daily comfort and wellbeing, offering both clinical and emotional support.

Your Responsibilities will include:

• Supporting bandage preparation, dressing changes, and monitoring skin health
• Helping with daily medical needs in a calm, confident manner
• Offering companionship, conversation, and engagement through hobbies, play, and outings
• Encouraging independence and supporting her emotional development
• Working closely with her family to maintain consistent, reassuring care
• Responding with patience, empathy, and steadiness in moments of anxiety or discomfort

This is meaningful work — the kind you go home from knowing you made a real difference.

Who You Are

You are warm, steady, and able to bring both skill and kindness to your role.

You’ll ideally have:

• Experience in complex care or paediatrics, including wound management
• A calm, confident, emotionally intelligent approach
• An understanding of patience, empathy, and trust‑building
• A natural ability to connect with children and support their wellbeing
• A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle
• Willingness to learn, adapt, and grow in the role
• Experience supporting anxiety or mental health is helpful, but above all, your compassion and reliability are what matter most

What You’ll Receive

• Flexible shifts designed around your lifestyle
• Weekly pay plus holiday entitlement
• Free uniform and refunded DBS
• Ongoing clinical training and funded Level 2 Diplomas
• Supportive office team who are always there for you
• Employee recognition, including Employee of the Month
• The chance to change a child’s life every single day
