Support Worker (Adult) Carlisle
I am a 46-year-old female and mother to a teenager, and I have various conditions that affect my mobility – this is mainly spinal and affects my upper body as well as my lower, including incontinence. I have also recently been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes.
Due to my conditions, I am looking for someone friendly and outgoing (as I like to talk!) to support with:
- Personal care, including washing, showering, and dressing
- Food preparation, including making simple breakfasts, lunches and batch cooking - knowledge around dietary requirements for diabetics would be desirable.
- Household Tasks, including laundry, vacuuming, waste and recycling, dish washing and cleaning
- Transportation to medical appointments
- Medication, including organising and reminders
The successful candidate will be flexible, patient and hands on. I work from home 3 days per week, doing computer-based work and online work meetings may be overheard, therefore confidentiality guidelines must be followed.
There are up to 18 hours per week (flexible), weekdays split over mornings and afternoons.
A full UK driving licence and own car with the appropriate business insurance will be required for transportation to appointments.
Full training, including Moving & Handling will be provided.
