About the client and role
Female carer required for a gentleman in Wiltshire for a long-term placement (or potentially 2 weeks on/2 weeks off)
The client is a lovely gentleman in his 90s, living in South Wiltshire. He is still very mentally agile and engaged in life around him. He lives in a delightful house in a small village in Wiltshire, supported by a cleaner and gardener.
He requires personal care and support with mobility (he walks with a Zimmer). We are looking for a long-term solution, which could either be a single long-term carer, or possibly 2 carers sharing a 2-on, 2-off rotation.
About the package:
The role currently attracts a salary of £1050 per week. The start date is 1 September. Ideally, this will be a long-term placement for the right candidate(s).
