Meet Our Client

We are looking for kind, reliable Healthcare Assistants to join a dedicated care team supporting a young boy living at home with his family in Skelmersdale.

This role would suit someone who is compassionate, attentive, and comfortable working overnight, and who values making a real difference to a child and their family.
