I am looking for a personable carer for my son who is 38 years old and suffers from cerebral palsy. He is a good communicator with a great sense of humour and is passionate about football and loves to participate with friends playing pool and dominoes.  Has regular exercises to do at home to help strengthen and maintain muscle health. He needs to be warm at all times and cannot be outside in very windy weather, needing someone to link arms with to keep his stability when out walking, as likes to go walking along the piers locally.

Some personal care will be required e.g. general hand and foot care, shaving and being assisted to the barber’s at least once every 6 weeks. Someone who drives is essential, ideally who lives close to Whitburn.

Hours to be arranged mutually with both parties.

The successful applicant will require a DBS check and be able to get on well with Roger who is our rescue cat.

We are looking for two female personal assistants to support a 54 year old gentleman in his own home and out socially in the community.  This gentleman has cervical myelopathy and is wheelchair dependent.  They require support in the mornings to shower, dress, apply cream and massage legs, administer medication and breakfast preparation (cereal).  In the evenings support is required to dress for bed and meal preparation (ready meal).  It is important to this gentleman to access the community, going out for walks, cinema, gym and meals.  This post would suit someone with similar interests and a driver with access to their own vehicle will be required.  This gentleman can walk small short distances with support and a Zimmer frame. There are no pets at the property currently, although they are looking at rehoming a cat.

As this post is 7 days a week it could be shared between two people.
