To provide domestic and personal care to support an older lady with health issues

Location: Holt, NR25

 

I am a proud and spirited East Ender, a former Seamstress and mother of 6, now grown up children. Sadly old age has caught up with me and I suffer from various health issues meaning I need support to remain comfortable in my own home. I require help with getting up, washing and dressing, food preparation and help to manage my medication. At the moment I have agency carers twice per day, however they are not available until mid morning and I prefer not to stay in bed too late. I am therefore seeking to employ (or engage a self employed) an additional Personal Assistant to provide 7 hours support per week at flexible/negotiable times. This could be a job share role to cover care 7 days per week.
