Join Our Team and Earn a £400 Bonus! £150 paid training + £250 after probation About the Client - A Unique and Inspiring Role

We are supporting a young medical student (early 20s) who sustained a high level spinal cord injury while on holiday from university.

He is exceptionally bright, motivated, and determined to return to his studies and live as independently as possible. He has a very positive mindset and is fully engaged in his care and future.

He lives in a fully adapted family home in Oxfordshire with a specialist care setup and strong family support.

He is also one of a very small number of people in the UK to have a Neuralink implant, allowing him to control his laptop through thought. It's a fascinating and rewarding environment to work in.

This is a meaningful, long term package, where consistency and quality of care are essential.

You will be working alongside a Critical Care RN, supporting a high acuity care plan.

What We're Looking For
  • Experience in spinal injury, brain injury, ABI, neurological condition, tracheostomy, ventilation, PEG, bowel care, or similar experience where possible.
  • Comfortable supporting tracheostomy/ventilated clients (or willingness to train)
  • Reliable, observant, and proactive
  • Strong teamwork and communication skills
Why This Role
  • Work alongside experienced ICU nurses
  • Be part of a high quality, specialist package
  • Build a consistent relationship with one client
  • Develop advanced clinical care skills
