Job Description

We are currently looking for two live-in carers for our client near Writtle, just West of Chelmsford.  The schedule will be one week on, one week off (or two on/off.)  You will be living with our client in her home near Writtle. Our client has cerebral palsy but the client is quite independent. The main duties will be meals, companionship and accompanying her on trips out which she likes to do on most days. Our client will need assistance with taking a shower a couple of times a week.

Our client wants to enjoy trips out so the carer must have a license - the client has her own car so the carer does not need to have their own car.  This is a wonderful long-term opportunity to work with an incredibly high-spirited individual who does not require too much help.

Due to the high number of applications that we receive, we will only be able to contact those who are applicable for the role. Due to the nature of the schedule, we will only accept UK-based applications. Please see below for more details regarding Wilson's Care.
