ABOUT THE ROLE

I am a married woman in my 50s living in my own home with my husband. I have one small dog named Rosie, who is very friendly and is my greatest joy. I have epilepsy and a history of strokes, and due to this require care and support 24/7 from my team of personal assistants. I enjoy going out with my carer on walks and social outings. I love taking part in community events. I have a great sense of humour and value a good conversation. I am looking for a carer who will add value to my life and encourage me to live my life to the fullest.

ABOUT YOU

     The ideal candidate will be fun-loving, energetic, committed, reliable, possess a can-do attitude, and have a positive and very caring nature. You must bring much enthusiasm to the role and possess excellent communication skills.

     It is essential that my PAs are drivers.

     Experience in health and social care is desirable, but a very caring and nurturing nature is more important than experience, because full training will be provided.

     A full UK driver’s license is essential, and you must feel comfortable in driving a mobility adapted vehicle.

In return for your dedication, you’ll receive a competitive rate of pay in addition to:

●      5.6 weeks holiday per year (pro-rata for part-time positions).

●      Company pension scheme after 3 months’ service, subject to the scheme rules.
