• Enjoy daily 1-hour walks together, providing mindful supervision near roads due to mild balance difficulties.
• Gently oversee health needs, including diet-controlled Type 2 diabetes and ongoing medical treatments (TrueBeam radiotherapy).
• Maintain clear daily notes and communicate with the management team while respecting her independence.

What We Offer

• Competitive Weekly Pay: Flexible PAYE or Umbrella options
• Expert Support: Continuous guidance from our Nurse Care Manager and Registered Manager
