The evening visit will include assistance with washing, changing continence pads, and preparing a light evening meal.

The successful candidate will be compassionate, reliable, and able to provide person-centred support that promotes the individual's dignity, comfort, and independence within her own home.

As a self-employed personal assistant, please state rates of pay on application.

Day & Times – as mentioned above.
