You'll also be trained to deliver specialist care, including urostomy and stoma care, cough assist, and recognising Autonomic Dysreflexia (AD).

Our client enjoys being around animals and has two dogs, a fish pond, and horses, so you'll support her in doing the things she loves, including visiting her horses, as well as helping with meals and daily routines.
