About the Role
This is a rewarding one-to-one role where you'll provide personalised support in a family home environment, helping someone regain confidence and work towards their rehabilitation goals.
You will support with daily living activities, mobility, personal care and specialist clinical needs, while encouraging independence, choice and dignity at every opportunity.
Just as important as the practical support is taking the time to build a positive, trusting relationship and helping her continue to enjoy the things that make life meaningful.
What You'll Be Doing

• Personal care, dressing and daily routines
• Supporting mobility and rehabilitation goals
• Monitoring wellbeing and reporting concerns
• Supporting nutrition, medication and clinical care needs
• Encouraging independence and involvement in everyday decisions
• Providing reassurance and emotional support
• Working closely with family members and the wider clinical team to ensure safe, consistent care

All specialist care will be provided in line with training, care plans and competency assessments, ensuring you feel confident and supported in your role.
The Kind of Person We're Looking For
We're looking for someone who is kind, patient and genuinely enjoys getting to know the people they support.
You'll be someone who:

• Has at least 6 months' previous care experience
• Has experience with tracheostomy care or other specialist care needs (desirable)
• Communicates clearly and confidently
• Takes a calm and reassuring approach
• Is reliable, proactive and able to work independently
• Understands the importance of dignity, choice and person-centred care
• Can build rapport and meaningful relationships with both clients and their families

This individual communicates in different ways and may sometimes need extra time to express her wishes and preferences. We're looking for carers who are patient, attentive and committed to ensuring her voice is always heard.
