What you would be doing
Supporting me to get up showered and dressed, I am independent once in the shower I just need support to get dry and dressed.
Getting breakfast & medication together and ready for the day.
The role requires a lot of walking as I spend 1-2 hours per day outside, most of which I am in a powered chair, it is really important that you are able to walk long distances (can be 20,000+ steps a day).
The person I would like
If you have experience of supporting others that would be great but is not essential if you have the right personality and desire to integrate with my family.
You will be someone who has a genuine interest in the provision of high quality care, someone who will promote my independence, with the motivation to develop trust and understanding in the role.
It is important that you are reliable committed, honest and trustworthy with a cheerful demeanour.
If you can drive that would be great as I have a wheelchair accessible vehicle.
