Meet Our Client

We are seeking dedicated, caring, and responsible Healthcare Assistants to support our client, a lively and affectionate young girl who enjoys playing, interacting with others, and attending nursery.

She is full of personality and loves dancing to music, watching her iPad, and spending time with her much-loved collection of dollies, which she enjoys playing with every day. She also takes great pleasure in watching The Chase, especially her favourite quiz master, The Beast.

Your role will be to provide attentive, child-centred care that supports her daily needs while promoting her happiness, safety, and overall wellbeing. You will offer companionship, encouragement, and reassurance, helping her to engage in activities she enjoys both at home and within the nursery environment.

Building a positive, trusting relationship will be key, ensuring she feels supported, stimulated, and cared for at all times.

Please note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.

Our clients family have specifically requested female care staff to join their team.
