Music, especially when enjoyed outdoors, brings him immense joy, and he delights in hydro swimming sessions and horse-riding therapy. During day shifts, you will provide 2:1 care, supporting him with all aspects of personal care, moving and handling, play, and sensory exploration.

You will also assist with mealtimes and accompany him to school, ensuring that all clinical needs are met while keeping him safe, comfortable, and engaged throughout the day.
