What You Will be Doing:
The role will require you to support with all personal care tasks; including washing, showering and toileting.

Furthermore, you will also be required to support with social inclusion and to take me out and about into the local community. Daily dog walks (whatever the weather) with me are extremely important and you will need to handle the dog on a lead.
