Job Description

The successful candidate for this role will be a qualified, experienced live-in self-employed carer who puts people first.

You will look after a married couple in their 80s living in a beautiful, if slightly isolated part of North Yorkshire. The lady of the house is currently bed-bound following a stroke, but it's hoped you will play a key role in getting her up and out of bed once more. She currently requires one night call and one early morning call. Extra carers currently attend each morning and lunchtime to assist/provide rest cover.

Her husband has limited mobility but remains able to care for himself. Both have mild dementia but appreciate good, cheerful company.

The couple enjoy cooked-from-scratch meals.   

Requirements

Applicants MUST be able to show evidence of:

  • current mandatory training (including moving and handling and medication)
  • a DBS certifcate that is checkable via the DBS Update Service
  • appropriate insurance
  • two contactable recent referees.

Desirable

A clean current driving licence.
Have your own transport? Even better!
(Although you will be within close reach of excellent rail links.)
An equally well qualified colleague or two you are used to working with, as candidates for holiday/emergency cover are also sought.
