About the Role

We are supporting a lady in her 70s who has a spinal cord injury and is paralysed in her lower limbs.

She also has a stoma. With the right support, she is keen to build her upper body strength back up again, regain confidence and work towards being more active in her day-to-day life.

This is a rewarding role for someone who enjoys building a consistent relationship with one client and supporting both clinical care and independence at home.

The role will involve personal care, stoma-related support, pressure area care, day-to-day assistance, and rehab-focused encouragement, including physio exercises, stretches and support with gradually increasing activity, PA-style support may also be included. Consistency and reliability will be important for this package.

You will be supported by Paragon’s clinical and operational team, working to a structured care plan.
