Job description

Overview

We are currently supporting a woman in her 40s living with Motor Neurone Disease and are seeking compassionate and reliable carers to join her dedicated care team. This is a 1:1 care package offering waking night shifts.

She enjoys pampering sessions, getting her nails done by her care team, shopping both online and in the community, and spending quality time with her family. She is non-verbal and uses an alarm system to alert her care team when she requires support. She is reliant on her care team for all aspects of personal care and routine clinical tasks during the night. Due to her immobility, attentive and consistent care is vital to ensure her comfort, safety, and well-being throughout the shift. Carers must be comfortable working in a pet-friendly environment, as our client has a cat.

Please note: Our client has the right to request either female or male staff. Our client has requested females only to join their care team.

This is your opportunity to make a real difference in someone’s life.

What Youll Need

• Confident with medication, personal care, moving and handling
• Must be pet friendly (cat in the property)
