Care Assistant for a person F/T @ £11.44/hr in Carshalton - FTE - £0.0k - CARSHALTON - SM5
About the Role
My husband Geoff is a man in his early sixties who was diagnosed with Young Onset Alzheimer's disease. Geoff is physically fit and healthy. He enjoys going to the gym, playing golf, and going for walks via a coffee shop. Geoff gave up work over five years ago as he was starting to show signs of memory loss and could not continue. He volunteered for a little at Citizens' Advice Bureau but stopped that a couple of years ago too.
Job Description
Geoff is struggling with loneliness and lack of social contact during the day (Monday to Wednesday) while I am at work. Although some of his friends still see him from time to time, this is not regular. The Alzheimer's creates some challenges for Geoff in dealing with dates and times, being able to communicate, completing longer sentences, and finding the right words. This also means he finds some social situations harder.
We are looking for a companion/personal assistant (preferably male) who could:
1. Accompany Geoff on walks
2. Go shopping with him
3. Take part in activities in London
4. Help with administrative tasks such as checking and responding to emails
5. Assist with using his phone and responding to texts and WhatsApp messages
We are looking for a non-smoker who likes cats too. The initial requirement is for someone to work one day a week (possibly a Wednesday) to start with.
