About the Role:

We are looking for a dedicated, hands-on carer to support a client who enjoys DIY projects and requires practical assistance in their daily activities. This is not your typical care role—if you’re someone who loves building things, getting involved in projects, and doesn’t mind getting your hands dirty, this could be the perfect opportunity for you!

Key Responsibilities:

• DIY Projects: Assist the client with building projects, 3D printing, assembling furniture, and other hands-on tasks. You’ll be the client’s hands, helping to bring their ideas to life.
• Technical Support: Help the client with laptop use, managing basic tech tasks, and other computer-related activities.
• Household Tasks: Support with cleaning cars, ironing, housework, and maintaining the home. Your role will include a variety of practical tasks to ensure the client’s environment is well-kept and functional.
• Manual Tasks: Put up awnings, handle minor repairs, and assist with any other manual labor the client needs help with.
• Listening and Following Instructions: Be attentive and responsive to the client’s needs, following their instructions carefully to ensure tasks are completed to their satisfaction.

About You:

• Practical Skills: You have a knack for DIY and enjoy working on various hands-on projects. You’re comfortable using tools, assembling items, and taking on new challenges.
• Good Communication: You speak good English and can communicate effectively with the client, understanding their needs and following their instructions.
• Flexible and Adaptable: You’re ready to handle a variety of tasks, from household chores to more complex DIY projects. You’re someone who enjoys variety in their work and is always ready to help where needed.
• Reliable and Trustworthy: You’re dependable, punctual, and take pride in doing a good job. The client relies on you to be their hands, so attention to detail and a strong work ethic are essential.

What We Offer:

• Competitive Pay: We offer a competitive hourly rate, reflecting the hands-on nature of the role.
• Variety: No two days are the same in this role. If you enjoy a job where you can use your practical skills and be involved in different tasks each day, this position offers plenty of variety.
• Supportive Environment: You’ll be working closely with the client in a supportive, collaborative setting where your contributions make a real difference.
