Mum is 92 and in good health. Mobility aids such as a stair-lift mean that she can still enjoy her home in Horsham.
She looks after herself, but is in increasing need of regular visits to do the basics - or assist with the basics.
At the moment this does not mean intimate care: the duties of the role is checking medication, assistance with a shower, and the kind of checks that put her mind at rest. We need someone proactive who will see what needs doing: tidying, checking bedroom etc
We're looking for someone friendly, in the hope a friendship will develop. This is not a job for someone under terrible time pressure who can't arrive, relax, and take an interest.
Previous experience preferred but this is not as essential as a kind and common sense approach is the main priority to this role.
Duties include:
Candidate qualities:
Additional requirements
Non-smoker preferred or someone willing to refrain from smoking during working hours
