Job Description

Carer required for a gentleman in Wiltshire for a long-term placement (or potentially 2 weeks on/2 weeks off)

About the client and role: The client is a lovely gentleman in his 90s, living in South Wiltshire. He is still very mentally agile and engaged in life around him. He lives in a delightful house in a small village in Wiltshire, supported by a cleaner and gardener. He requires personal care and support with mobility (he walks with a Zimmer). We are looking for a long-term solution, which could either be a single long-term carer, or possibly 2 carers sharing a 2-on, 2-off rotation.

About the package: The role currently attracts a salary of £1050 per week.  The start date is 1 September. Ideally, this will be a long-term placement for the right candidate(s).

About us: We are a small and friendly bespoke live-in care referral agency, operating predominantly in the South West of England. We pride ourselves on a personal approach and maintain close and supportive relations with both our clients and carers.

About you: You will need to have the following skill sets and experience:

Essential:

• At least 3 years’ experience of care for the elderly, in either a live-in or care home capacity.
• The ability to cook nutritious meals
• The right to work in the UK
• Current DBS
• At least 2 professional references
• Current Care training Certificates
• A UK driving licence and your own car (which you are willing to use with the client)

Desirable:

• NVQ or similar qualification in Health & Social Care.

Responses: Apologies in advance, but due to the volume of responses, we will only be able to reply to those we believe are suitable for the role, which we normally do within a week of application.
