Looking for someone to provide the service of a live- in carer for an elderly woman. Needs to be kind, patient and caring. Needs to be present, vigilant and responsive at nights (though there is no current need for this). 3 x daily carers visits already in place so looking for someone to add this existing model. There are 2 models of carer required:
1/ During the day, to provide 3 hours caring functions that can be decided weekly. These will mainly include providing companionship and escorting for outdoor activities (walks, restaurants, shopping). Or may include some cooking of meals, cleaning, ironing duties.
Would suit someone who has a part time job. Will need to pay their own council tax (tax band E) and food expenses. Shared utility bills included, Outing costs included when caring.
OR
2/ Full time carer to provide 5 hours daily care. Will be eligible for carers allowance and status will all the other benefits attached to this including weekly income of £86.45. Again, to primarily include social and outdoor functions but will include some personal and house support. Must be present overnight and vigilant as above.
Would suit someone who has this as their primary role. Council tax will be paid and basic food expenses covered . Shared utility bills covered. Outing costs covered when caring.
