Description
Are you a compassionate and experienced Registered Nurse ready to make a difference in a young adult’s life?
We are seeking an empathetic Registered Nurse to provide dedicated, one-on-one care for a young adult with complex healthcare needs.
If you have a passion for delivering life-changing care and expertise in complex medical support, this role presents a fulfilling opportunity for you!
The Role:
We are looking for a compassionate and dedicated individual to provide care and support a young adult with complex care needs. The role involves assisting with daily routines such as feeding, mobility, and personal care, while ensuring the child’s comfort, safety, and well-being. You will be expected to follow a detailed care plan and support the child in engaging with fun and educational activities that promote their development. Building a positive and trusting relationship is key, as emotional support is an essential part of the role.
As a young adult with Batten Disease, they have significant clinical care needs, including chest infections and low oxygen levels, requiring supplemental oxygen. A cough assist device helps with respiratory support, while suction may be needed to clear airways. Medications manage symptoms, including seizures, which are common in the disease. Breath-holding episodes also require close monitoring and intervention.
Comprehensive, multidisciplinary care is essential to address these challenges. Including deep suctioning, repositioning, and chest physiotherapy to manage respiratory health. Seizure management is essential for epilepsy, while visual impairment requires mobility support and adaptive tools. Gastrostomy care ensures safe feeding and prevents infections. A coordinated healthcare team is crucial for addressing these complex needs and ensuring the person’s safety and comfort.
