Meet Our Client

A cheerful young boy who lives with his mum and sister at their home in Blackburn.

He loves cartoons, music, and playing with textured items like his blanket and fluffy toys.

He usually sleeps well and goes to bed around 7:30pm, so is likely to be settled ahead of the arrival of his overnight care team. He wakes around 6am, and his team support his morning routine and get him ready for school.

As most of his seizures occur at night, he requires close monitoring and gentle care to keep him safe and reassured, so attentiveness is key.

“This isn't just a job – it’s your opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.”
