The Right Person Will Be: Warm, patient and genuinely caring, calm and emotionally steady, proactive and practical, comfortable around dementia.

Able to cook confidently

House-proud, clean and organised

A team player, collaborative and respectful

This role is about creating a peaceful, supportive home environment. We need someone who understands that teamwork is essential and that the priority is our parents’ wellbeing.

Experience in elderly care or dementia-friendly environments is highly desirable

Accommodation in a large detached house with garden. Meals provided.

This role may particularly suit a mature, nurturing female candidate. If you are kind, steady, and looking for a meaningful long-term role within a respectful family home, we would love to hear from you.
