Job Description

We are looking for an additional live in carer to look after my Mum who has Progressive Supranuclear Palsy and lives just outside of Manchester in the North West of England. Initially the role is for 2 weeks cover in July with possible extension depending on preferences.

The disease is degenerative and she currently needs daily support with personal care, moving to and from the commode, dressing, changing, taking tablets and getting in and out of bed. 

We are hoping to find a strong, flexible, experienced carer who can not only care for her appropriately but is also chatty, enjoys listening to music and ideally likes cooking/baking. Mum enjoys going out for walks in her wheelchair too so we would ideally like a carer who is confident doing this as well as someone who is physically strong for moving requirements (though aids are provided).

A sizable bedroom will be provided with all amenities available to be used, including a large garden. There are plenty of things to do in the local area and transport links into Manchester too. 

Although the household has no pets there may be a visiting dog so we would also need the carer to be comfortable with animals. 

Requirements:  

• Minimum 1 year experience as a carer (more experienced preferred) 
• Full valid UK driving licence preferred 
• Full DBS 
• NVQ level 2 in health and social care 
• Experience with Alzheimer’s or Supranuclear Palsy 

The Carer needs to be able to take care of administration, shopping, cleaning, laundry, personal care (including, getting in and out of bed, dressing and undressing, bathing), meal preparation, medication prompting and taking to medical appointments. 

Included:  

Food, accommodation plus amenities, good transport links to central Manchester and outdoor space.
