Are you a compassionate and understanding carer looking to make a real difference in someone's life?

At MCS Healthcare, we are looking for dedicated Health Care Assistants to support a young client living at home with their family in Radstock. This is a rewarding opportunity to provide consistent, person-centred care to an adolescent with a learning disability and epilepsy.

About the Role

You will be supporting a young person who lives in a loving family home. The client requires reassurance, structure, and consistent support, especially during the night.

They may use their behaviour to communicate, so they need a calm, patient carer who can understand their needs. At times, the client may display behaviours that challenge, particularly if they feel overwhelmed or unsettled. Building trust, offering reassurance, and responding in a calm and supportive way is essential.

This role is not just about care tasks-it's about building a positive relationship, promoting a sense of safety, and supporting the client to feel comfortable in their own home.

We are looking for someone who is:

• Empathetic, patient, and understanding
• A good listener who can respond calmly to needs
• Confident in supporting behaviours that may challenge
• Able to build strong rapport with the client and family

What You'll Be Doing

• Providing personal and emotional support
• Supporting and managing behaviours that may challenge in a calm and safe manner
• Monitoring wellbeing and ensuring safety overnight
• Supporting with epilepsy care
• Promoting comfort, dignity, and reassurance at all times

What We're Looking For

• At least 1 year of care experience
• PMVA(PreventionandManagementofViolenceandAggression)training
• A caring and professional approach
• Willingness to learn and follow care plans
• Experience in learning disabilities or similar settings (preferred)
