- Monitor and respond to health needs, including epilepsy and complex conditions where applicable
- Work collaboratively with families, professionals, and multidisciplinary teams
- Complete accurate records, incident reports, and daily notes
- Maintain a trauma-informed, respectful, and person-centred approach at all times
