Job Description

I am recruiting for 2 long term live in carers for my Father. He is a wonderful, witty, interesting chap, who now needs live in help. 

He has had slow progression Parkinsons for 13 years, and he now needs help with washing, cooking, cleaning, personal hygiene and general organising. 

He has symptoms of Parkinsons dementia, which essentially means that he is forgetful and can become confused at relatively simple tasks. He has issues of mild incontinence, so plenty of bed linen washing etc each day. 

His long term memory is still sharp, it is his short term memory and cognitive abilities which he finds are frustratingly impaired. 

We are looking for 2 carers to share the role, working 5 days / 1 week rotations, living in with Dad. Candidates must be considerate, patient, friendly and stimulating as well as being experienced carers with experience of parkinsons / dementia. During rotation you would be living with Dad in his 3 bedroom house right in the centre of Emsworth Town, only a few hundred yards from the harbour which he enjoys walking around most days for exercise. 

Experience of dementia / parkinson symptoms is essential, but the right qualities, experience and personality are the key for us. Excellent English speaking is essential. 

We are looking for two candidates who can commit to at least 6 months initially. 

The candidates should be able to drive and preferably have their own cars ( Dad has a garage) so that they are able to take him shopping / on short day trips etc. 

Only female candidates will be considered, and must be over 30 years of age. 

Full references and checks would be required. We very much love out dear Dad and want to make sure he is in good hands. 

Accommodation, food, travel expenses, and £1750 per month, working an average of 3.5 days per week.
