Are you a caring, patient and reliable person who enjoys helping others? We are looking for a friendly Personal Assistant to support a 100-year-old gentleman in his own home, helping him feel comfortable, happy and well cared for.

The role will involve supporting his morning, lunchtime and evening routines, including helping him get ready for bed. Duties will include medication prompting (following written instructions), personal care such as washing, shaving and dressing, and assistance with toileting, as he can struggle with his balance. You will also help with his dentures.

You will prepare simple meals throughout the day and drinks, and encourage and support him to walk using his Zimmer frame. There may also be opportunities to help with light household tasks, such as laundry and cleaning, if you are happy to do so.

His care is currently well managed, so the position will initially be on a bank-hours basis, with flexible support as needed. If things work well, there may be opportunities for additional hours in the future.

We are looking for someone kind, trustworthy and dependable, who is comfortable providing personal care and enjoys making a positive difference to someone's everyday life. A friendly and reassuring approach, along with respect for his dignity and independence, is essential.

If you are passionate about helping others and would enjoy providing both practical support and companionship, we would love to hear from you!
