We are looking for a friendly and caring Personal Assistant to support a gentleman in Norton.

• Providing company, conversation and gentle engagement
• Being aware of and responsive to changes in his mood
• Assisting with mobility – he walks with a stick and benefits from flatter, accessible routes
• Occasional personal care , such as support with incontinence wear if needed

About You

We are looking for someone who is:

• Warm, approachable, and able to build a positive connection
• Supportive and reassuring, with a good sense of when to gently encourage
• Comfortable engaging in conversation and taking an interest in his hobbies
• Understanding of the "good days and bad days" that dementia can bring
• Experienced in dementia support or simply someone with the right attitude, patience and empathy

Hours

If you are compassionate, reliable, and enjoy building meaningful connections, we would love to hear from you.
