Caregiver – Dedicated Support for One Client (Stratford‑upon‑Avon)

25–30 contracted hours per week, consistent shifts and meaningful one‑to‑one work.

We are recruiting a Caregiver to support one of our lovely clients who lives in the Meon Vale area of Stratford‑upon‑Avon. This is a client‑specific role, offering stable hours, a consistent routine, and the chance to build a trusting, person‑centred relationship.

About the Role

You will be supporting a client who has a spinal injury and requires hands‑on assistance with daily living. Your role will include:

• Supporting Personal Assistants with moving and handling related to personal care
• Feeding support and help with breakfast routine
• Encouraging physical therapy exercises
• Providing warm, engaging companionship
• Helping with day‑to‑day tasks such as feeding her much loved cat
• Encouraging independence and supporting her environmentally friendly lifestyle and values

Experience with spinal injury is desirable but not essential; what matters most is confidence, empathy, and a genuinely person‑centred approach.

Who We’re Looking For

• Confident, calm, and able to work independently
• Physically active and comfortable with hands‑on support
• Experienced in delivering personal care
• Able to build a warm, trusting relationship
• Respectful of our client’s values, especially her passion for animals and environmentally friendly living
• Reliable, consistent, and committed to high quality care

This role is ideal for someone who enjoys meaningful one‑to‑one work rather than fast‑paced, task‑driven care.

Hours & Shifts

• 25–30 contracted hours per week
• Set shift pattern through Monday to Sunday (every other weekend on)
• Hours 7.15 am to 11.15 am, 2 pm to 4 pm, 8 pm to 10 pm
• Stable, predictable rota

Why Join Us?

• Work with one client and make a real impact
• Supportive, friendly team
• Full training provided, including specialist skills
• Competitive pay and benefits
• A role that feels rewarding every single day
