We are looking for a kind, cheerful and reliable part-time carer to support us to live independently in our home in Islington. This is a live out position. Ideally, you would live locally or not more than a short travelling distance away.
We are a married couple respectively in our early 80s and early 90s. One of us (wife) is partially (physically) disabled after a stroke, and needs help with washing, dressing and using stair lifts. The other (husband) needs support with minor domestic tasks, but is otherwise independent. We may also ask you to do some light shopping at local shops. We are both retired, but have a wide range of interests and friends.
Previous relevant experience would be very helpful; flexibility, initiative and willingness to learn are crucial. Ability to drive would also be useful, though not essential.
We own a small cat (Abyssinian) and the house is non-smoking.
Initial hours would be:
Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday: 11am to 1pm
Thursday and Saturday: 10am to 12pm
These hours may increase over time and/or there may be opportunities for additional hours.
Pay: £12 per hour
References and DBS check essential. Preferably immediate start.
Please apply by email attaching CV and providing a contact number.
