Job Description

The placement will pay £130 per day plus a food allowance of £50 per week unless the client provides meals, which he is happy to do. Travel will be paid from home to and from the client at the start and end of the placement (capped at £50 per trip). Bank holidays are paid at 1.5 times and Christmas and New Year's Day at 2 times. The client is young, at 63, but has been diagnosed with dementia following a recent traumatic event in his life. Until the start of 2026, he spent some time in a local care home but returned home with live-in care, which we have provided since. He lives in the same village as the office, and his family also live locally. They have been farmers in the area for generations. He understands his circumstances and is keen to recreate a good quality of life at home. He is very easy to get along with and has a great sense of humour. He is able to have conversations but can get a little confused at times. The support will involve looking after the house, meal preparation, support with personal care and medication support. Getting out of the house and being active will also be a big part of the support. He is an outdoor sort of person and so enjoys gardening and being active physically - since he has been back home, he has been working a good deal in his garden. There are no mobility concerns.
