Bring Your Caring Nature and Playful Personality to a Role That Really Matters!

Are you a compassionate, enthusiastic Care Assistant who loves working with children and understands that communication goes far beyond words?

At HFH Healthcare, we're looking for a kind, patient and engaging Paediatric Care Assistant to support a lively 10-year-old boy in his own home in Hayes.

Our client is full of enthusiasm and excitement for life. He is non-verbal and communicates through touch-based methods, so we're looking for someone who is attentive, intuitive and willing to take the time to understand his individual ways of expressing himself.

A big heart, a playful personality and a genuine passion for supporting children will make all the difference in this role.

This is a wonderful opportunity to build a meaningful connection with a young person while supporting his comfort, wellbeing and everyday experiences.

What You'll Be Doing

You'll provide dedicated, one-to-one care in the child's home, working closely with his family and wider care team.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting daily routines, personal care and general wellbeing.

• Building trust through patience, kindness and consistency.

• Learning and responding to his individual tactile communication methods.

• Encouraging play, interaction and age-appropriate activities.

• Creating a safe, positive and engaging environment.

• Recognising non-verbal cues and responding to his needs.

• Supporting his independence and choices wherever possible.

• Following individual care plans and working collaboratively with his family and care team.

What We're Looking For

• Previous experience in a care or support role, ideally working with children or young people.

• A warm, compassionate and playful personality.

• Patience and confidence supporting someone who communicates non-verbally.

• Excellent observation and communication skills.

• A reliable, attentive and proactive approach.

• A genuine understanding of dignity, safeguarding and person-centred care.

• Availability to work 12-hour shifts, at least 3 per week.

Experience with alternative communication methods is an advantage, but your willingness to learn and connect with our client is equally important.
