Jack has dyskinetic cerebral palsy and epilepsy and uses a wheelchair full time. He is non-verbal, but full of personality and is a happy, friendly boy. He is learning to use eye gaze technology to communicate and loves being active, especially going on swings, cycling on his adapted trike, and swimming.
This is a deeply rewarding role for someone who is passionate about making a meaningful difference to a child’s life and wants to be part of a supportive, close-knit family.

- Using physiotherapy and speech therapy plans in day-to-day activities
- Attending appointments with Jack as required
- Supporting family routines and happy to travel occasionally with the family
- Assisting with day trips and outings
- Working as part of a wider family team (a 4-year-old sibling and friendly dogs are also in the home)

- Reliable and dependable
- Trustworthy and discreet
- Enthusiastic and fun-loving
- Patient and caring
- Organised, proactive, and self-motivated
- Team player who enjoys working with families
Essential Requirements
- Enhanced DBS check (or willingness to obtain one)
- Full, clean UK driving licence and own car
- Willingness and ability to travel with the family on occasion
- Right to work in the UK
If you believe you'd be a great fit for Jack and our family, we’d love to hear from you.
We are happy to answer any questions you may have ahead of an interview. We are an open book, no question is too silly or too intrusive!
