Job description
We are supporting a young medical student (early 20s) who sustained a high-level spinal cord injury while on holiday from university.
He is exceptionally bright, articulate, and determined to return to his studies and live as independently as possible. Despite everything he has been through, he has a positive, driven mindset and is fully engaged in his care and future.
He lives in a fully adapted family home in Oxfordshire with a specialist care setup and strong family support.
He is also one of a very small number of people in the UK to have a Neuralink implant, allowing him to control his laptop purely through thought. It is an incredible piece of technology and a fascinating environment to work in.
This is a highly engaging and meaningful package, where you will build a genuine relationship and play a key role in supporting his long-term goals.
This is a high-acuity package requiring confident critical care nurses:
- Fully ventilated via tracheostomy
- Complex airway clearance and respiratory support
- Autonomic dysreflexia risk and blood pressure instability
- Periods where the client may not be able to communicate changes in condition
- Observation and clinical judgement are critical
- Early recognition of deterioration is essential
- You must be confident working independently
This is not routine care it requires ICU-level thinking in a 1:1 setting.
- NMC Registered Nurse
- Current ICU / Critical Care experience ( essential) / Spinal Injury, neurological conditions or other similar acute or specialist backgrounds.
- Confident managing ventilated patients
- Calm, observant, and clinically decisive
- Nurses who value consistency, teamwork, and high standards of care
This role would particularly suit ICU nurses who prefer nights or want fixed night work alongside hospital shifts, while remaining in a highly clinical and rewarding environment.
Why This Role
- ICU-level care in a 1:1 setting
- Work with a highly motivated young person
- Be part of a package that genuinely makes a difference
- Join a specialist provider committed to doing complex care properly
- Occasional flexibility to support alternative shifts, including days if needed
- Cross-over shifts for supervision, clinical oversight, and team consistency
- Supporting sickness and annual leave cover where possible
As this is a small specialist team, we do need some flexibility so that night staff remain connected to the wider team and we can safely cover the rota when required.
Pay (PAYE Only)
- £41.82/hr
Care Model
- 24/7 package
- 2:1 care at all times:
- 1 x Critical Care RN
- 1 x Complex HCA
You will be part of a small, consistent team, ensuring continuity and high-quality care.
