We’re seeking a kind, reliable Daily Living Support Assistant to provide 2 hours of support each day, 7 days a week, across two set time slots: 9–10am and 4–5pm. This role is ideal for someone who truly values routine, patience, and meaningful one-to-one connection.

You’ll be supporting an individual who is partially blind and deaf, helping them maintain independence and confidence in daily life. Your day-to-day involvement will include assisting with reading and writing tasks, offering gentle mobility support during short walks with a mobility frame, and carrying out light household duties such as hoovering or stripping the bed to keep their home comfortable.

An Italian speaker would be especially welcome, as it would make communication smoother and more enriching as it is her first language, although it’s not essential. You’ll also occasionally accompany them to GP appointments and complete a simple weekly blood-pressure check as part of general wellbeing monitoring.

This is a calm, steady role where your presence and patience will make a difference. If you are thoughtful, dependable, and enjoy supporting someone to live safely and comfortably at home, we’d love to hear from you.

Duties include:

- Medication prompting/administering

- Administration

- Transportation

- Companionship

- Dressing / undressing

Candidate qualities:

- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality

- Reliable with good timekeeping

- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative

- Hygienic, tidy and well organised

- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties

- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills

- Honest and cheerful

- Creative

- Able to speak and read English to a reasonable standard

- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety

Notes:

All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required.

If you are successful in your application for this position, you will be either engaged directly or employed by the individual employer and not by Independent Lives. The role may be offered on an employed or self-employed basis, depending on the suitability and agreement with the employer. If the role is employed, you will be entitled to holiday pay and issued an employment contract.

Please note: If you do not hear back within three weeks of applying, unfortunately your application has not been successful on this occasion.
