Live In Care Assistant - Cuffley at Home Instead · Cuffley

Company Description

Cheshunt, Hertfordshire | Full-Time Live-In | £125 per day | 2 Weeks On / 2 Weeks Off

A rewarding Live-In Care opportunity with a lovely client

We are looking for an experienced Live-In Care Professional to support a lovely lady in her late 80s in her own home in Cheshunt.

Our client is living with Alzheimer’s, high blood pressure and Type 2 diabetes. She remains fairly independent and mobile, but benefits from companionship, gentle prompting, some light personal care and support around the home.

She enjoys her garden, baking, watching the news and having a good chat. She has settled very well into having a Live-In Care Professional and is a lovely, engaging client.

The role

Your responsibilities will include:

• Providing companionship and conversation
• Supporting her daily routine
• Gentle prompting and guidance
• Light personal care
• Taking and recording daily blood pressure readings
• Meal preparation and light household tasks
• Encouraging independence and activities she enjoys

She attends a local day centre every Monday and Wednesday from 10am–2pm, providing you with some dedicated time for a break.

The home & family

Her daughter is very involved, supportive and approachable, although she does not live at the property.

You will have your own private bedroom upstairs with an ensuite bathroom.

Who we're looking for

For this particular placement, previous Live-In Care experience is strongly preferred.

Ideally, you will have:

• Previous Live-In Care experience
• Experience supporting someone living with dementia/Alzheimer’s
• A kind, patient and compassionate approach
• Confidence working independently
• Excellent communication skills
• A genuine interest in providing companionship as well as care

An Enhanced DBS on the Update Service would be ideal.

There may also be future Live-In Care opportunities with Home Instead for the right Care Professional.
