Companion / Personal Assistant for a Gentleman with Young Onset Alzheimer’s

We’re looking for a kind, patient, and easy-going companion for Gavin, who is 60 and has young onset Alzheimer’s disease. Gavin was a photographer and is now retired due to his illness. He loves gardening and his cats, and he enjoys a good chat about the news.

We’re about to welcome a Cavachon puppy into the family, which we hope will get us all out of the house more and give Gavin a reason to head out to the common each day.

Gavin does not currently require continence care, but this may change in the future.

What the role involves:

Pottering in the garden with Gavin
Dog walks, including trips to the common
Chatting over a cuppa and keeping up with the news
Helping prepare lunch and making cups of tea
Light tidying (things tend to wander around the house these days!)
Giving Gavin’s wife a short, regular break to get out of the house

About you:

Warm, patient, and good-humoured, with a calm and unhurried manner
Comfortable around dogs and cats
Happy to spend time outdoors
Reliable and discreet
Experience with dementia is preferred. We’ll happily show you what works for Gavin.
