Carewatch

Job Description

To provide care and support for elderly or disabled people in their own homes on a live-in basis.

We provide services to people with a range of conditions and illnesses from people who are physically fit but have early stages of dementia to people who are severely disabled, perhaps by a stroke or car accident and need full personal care and use of special equipment and people who are terminally ill.

Duties will include support with all aspects of daily living such as helping people to wash and dress, toileting, bathing, meal preparation and prompting medication.

You will have sole responsibility, so previous care or nursing experience is essential. Ability to drive is essential as many of our clients live in rural areas.

Live-in workers usually work on a two-week on two-week off pattern, depending on the needs of the person they are working with.

You must have the right to work in the UK without a work permit.

Position subject to an enhanced criminal record check. References will also be taken up.

We are based in Ipswich, Suffolk (1 hour by train from London) and our work is in the Suffolk & Essex areas.

Please call to arrange an interview.
