About the Role
You will provide 1:1 live-in support for a warm, thoughtful individual with long-standing Parkinson's disease, helping her live safely and independently in her home with her two sons and pets (dog and turtle). This role blends personal care with daily support work. The client requires help with strict medication schedules, mobility support during 'freezing' episodes, showering, and dressing. You will also help structure her day—charging her devices and electric chair, untangling wool, and encouraging her love for crafts and puzzles. Warmth, patience, and a sense of humour are key to supporting her through emotional low points.
