Complex Care Worker
Clover Care Group is looking for an experienced female Complex Care Worker to join a dedicated live-in care package, supporting a young adult client with a range of complex neurological, emotional and support needs.
This is a rewarding opportunity for a calm, compassionate and understanding carer who enjoys building trust and supporting someone to maintain their independence, choices, routines and quality of life.
The Role
Female carers only
Support with daily living and personal care where required
Medication prompting and support
Support with nutrition and hydration
Mobility and fatigue management
Supporting anxiety, sensory needs and emotional wellbeing
Recognising and safely supporting functional seizures associated with FND
Supporting routines, appointments and community access
Companionship and meaningful activities
Working within detailed care plans and individual support strategies
Key Experience
The client has Functional Neurological Disorder (FND) with functional seizures. These episodes are genuine and involuntary but require a different approach from epileptic seizures. Staff must remain calm, maintain safety and dignity, reduce stimulation and follow the client's individual FND care plan.
The client may experience episodes following anxiety, sensory overload, fatigue, pain, unexpected changes, lack of sleep or increased stress. Staff need to recognise individual warning signs and understand how to provide calm reassurance and appropriate support.
The client also has autism, OCD, Tourette syndrome and anxiety, making calm communication, predictable routines, advance warning of changes and sufficient processing time particularly important.
Medication support is primarily prompting rather than taking over, with the aim of maintaining the client's independence and control.
Experience of FND, functional seizures, autism, anxiety or similar complex support needs would be highly desirable
