Daniel, aged 10, and his family are looking for dedicated waking night carers to join their home care team.

Daniel has Cerebral Palsy, Epilepsy and Dystonic Spasms. He is non-verbal and is fully dependent on others for all of his personal care, transfers and mobilisation in his wheelchair. Daniel is fed and has his medication administered via a gastrostomy.

The family are Lithuanian and it would be beneficial if the Support Worker spoke Lithuanian too, though this is not essential.
