Experienced Live in Carer in Leatherhead

We are looking for a friendly, compassionate and proactive Live-In Care Professional to support a lovely client living in the KT22 area on a self-employed basis.

Our client is living with dementia and experiences significant memory difficulties. She is looking for someone who will become a reassuring and positive presence in her daily life – someone who is calm, patient, kind and genuinely enjoys spending time with others.

This role is about much more than providing support. We're looking for someone who can brighten her day, encourage her to stay active, enjoy outings together, and help maintain a fulfilling routine. Whether that’s visiting a local café, going for a walk, browsing the shops, attending local activities or simply enjoying a chat, you’ll play an important part in helping her continue to enjoy life.

She also has a much-loved cat, so you’ll need to be comfortable around pets and happy sharing the home with a feline companion.

We’re looking for someone who is naturally warm, encouraging and has a good sense of humour. Someone who understands dementia, communicates with kindness, remains calm and reassuring when needed, and can gently lift someone’s spirits on the more difficult days. Just as importantly, we’re looking for someone who will fit well within our supportive team and share our values of delivering person‑centred support with dignity and compassion.
