At Leaf Complex Care, part of the Catalyst Care Group, we are committed to providing expert complex care that transforms lives. We stand on the pillars of Compassion, Impact, and Community, values that guide our actions and our approach to compassionate care. We are seeking professionals who are passionate about making a significant difference in the lives of others while embodying these core values.
We are seeking dedicated, patient, and energetic healthcare assistants to support a young lady as she transitions from a hospital setting into her new home. This is a unique and rewarding opportunity to be part of building a brand-new team around her, supporting her to feel safe, understood, and excited about this next chapter in her life.
She is a non-verbal young lady who communicates fluently using Makaton. She is currently a wheelchair user. She has a playful and spirited sense of humour, and is caring, funny, adventurous, and kind, with a truly big heart.
This role is about more than support, it’s about building trust, creating stability, and helping her thrive in her new environment.
You will initially support her within a hospital setting, working alongside professionals to ensure a smooth and safe transition into her own home, while helping establish a consistent and supportive team around her.
She loves to be active, outdoors, and engaged, so this role requires someone who can match her energy and enthusiasm for life. She also loves dancing and listening to music.
Her favourite activities include:
She is also working towards returning to activities such as cinema trips, trampolining, and playing football, and will need support to gradually build back up to these.
In her downtime, she enjoys watching:
Peppa Pig, Thomas the Tank Engine, Spiderman, and Teletubbies, so being able to engage with her in these moments is just as important.
Based on package needs – likely a mix of shifts including days and community support.
However, if you have the right attitude, passion, and willingness to learn — we would still love to hear from you.
We are looking for someone who is:
In the words of the young lady:
“If you give me time and help me feel safe in the world, I’m a cheeky monkey!”
