Wheelchair

Additional Information

Are you bubbly and outgoing with a caring nature? Do you have a love of music and love to sing along to the radio? We could have the perfect client partnership for you…!

Joyce is an 82-year-old lady who currently lives with her lovely husband. We are looking for a Live-in CAREGiver who can help give Jo some support in caring for his wife in their home.

We need a kind and nurturing CAREGiver who will be able to provide companionship for Joyce; whilst she does have advanced dementia, Joyce loves to chat! She enjoys signing and loves nothing more than looking over old photos with a nice cup of tea.

Ideally you will have some experience working within Care, although full training and support will be given. Ability to drive and access to your own vehicle will be ideal, however, the home is close to the bus stop so non drivers might be considered by the client.

You’ll provide the following support to Joyce:

- Helping her to enjoy her meals by helping her to eat.

- Visiting the toilet

- Personal care including washing and dressing

- Preventing any trips or falls. Ensuring her environment is safe.

- Companionship

- Allowing Jo to have some much-needed time to himself where he likes to potter in his garden and workshop

You’ll use the following equipment to support Joyce:

- A downstairs commode

- Seating in the bath and shower

- Handrails to support your client up and down the stairs
