About the Role
We are looking for a unique individual to support with the difficult task of changing the bandages of our service user who suffers from a chronic skin condition called Epidermolysis bullosa (EB).

This is an extremely painful procedure, and the client has specific pain medication prescribed to help with this. There will also always be a carer present who knows the client well to provide them with emotional support and reassurance throughout the process.
This task is currently completed by their parent, who understandably finds it very difficult, and now that our service user is older, would like to be able to train up someone else to support with this task.

This is an amazing opportunity to learn new skills and progress in your health and social care career. Practical clinical training will be delivered by one of our nurses so you can learn first-hand from their expertise.
