Personal Live-in Care Assistant for a senior gentleman in Halesworth, IP19.
Salary: £756 per week
I am 91 and live with my wife in Halesworth. I have spinal stenosis and myelopathy, so mobility is limited, but I am able to walk with a frame. I wear a pad, as I occasionally have continence issues. I use a mobility scooter in town and a wheelchair at times. I am a poet and recently retired creative writing teacher. My wife is younger than me and is often busy with family and grandchildren, sometimes staying away for weekends.
As a live-in carer, there will be quiet times, but it is reassuring for us to know that you will be 'on call' during working hours if needed. We live in a big house with plenty of room, in the middle of a beautiful town. You will have your own room and a private bathroom.
Working Hours:
1. From 8.00 am to 9.00 pm, with a 2-hour break.
2. Currently, there are no requirements for assistance during the night, but you will be 'on call' for emergencies.
3. You will be a part of an ongoing rota with others for a minimum of two weeks at a time.
4. We imagine a maximum of three carers.
