Job Description

Wilson's Care are looking for live-in carers for a variety of roles in and around Chelmsford. We are considering carers who would prefer to work longer periods (with a short break) and those who would like to job share with another live-in carer (in a 1-4 week on/off rotation). 

Wilson's Care client's are privately funded opposed to adult social care. Our clients tend to have very supportive families and lovely homes; ideal conditions for a live-in carer. Exact salaries will depend on the needs of the client, the workload, conditions of residence and the experience/skills of the carer. Please see the below summary for one of the positions we are currently recruiting for:

Our client lives in a nice home within Chelmsford and has a very supportive daughter. The client had a fall that required her to be admitted to hospital, and she is in the process of recovering from the fall. The client is completing daily exercises to try and improve her mobility. At the moment, the client is living upstairs only. The live-in carer will be supported by a supporting carer every morning to complete personal care and the daughter visits every day to provide the carer's two-hour break and further support for personal care/exercises. 

Your role will involve supporting our client with all aspects of her personal care, meal preparation, supporting her to take her medication, as well as providing companionship. This is a wonderful opportunity to work with an incredibly supportive daughter.
