Meet Our Client

A friendly, sociable young man in his late teens who enjoys spending time with his friends at school, playing on his PlayStation, and watching football, he’s a passionate Manchester City supporter. He also loves going for walks around the community with family and friends.

He’s looking for a calm, kind, and gentle person to support him with his daily routine and care needs. On school nights, he usually goes to bed around 9:00 pm and settles himself to sleep, waking around 6:30 am. Overnight, you’ll carry out regular observations, manage his clinical interventions, and provide support and reassurance as needed.

In the morning, you’ll help with his personal care and prepare him for the day ahead.

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