About Our Client
Our client has Athetoid Cerebral Palsy, which causes involuntary muscle movements. She uses a wheelchair and requires assistance with manual handling. She also has a gastrostomy tube (Mickey button) for all her food, fluids, and medication. While she may have some difficulty communicating, with time and patience, you'll learn to understand her well.
She also has a diagnosis of PTSD, which can sometimes lead to anxiety that may prolong transfers and cause involuntary spasms. During night shifts, the carer will need to remain awake to monitor her and offer reassurance if she wakes. Her medications include Mirtazapine (regular) and Diazepam (PRN).
We're looking for someone who is proactive and keen to engage in fun activities with our client!
