Live In Support Worker - Drivers

at  Active Care Group

For genuine occupational requirements we require female candidates for this client.
Our client leads an active lifestyle, therefore a successful applicant will hold a full clean UK drivers’ licence to support their independence.

WHEN YOU’LL BE WORKING:

• We are looking for a regular team member to work permanently with our client
• Assignment length will range from 2-4 weeks at a time
• Assignments and breaks will be planned in advance

THE ROLE AS TOLD BY OUR CLIENT:

As well as care needs, living an independent life is important to me. I regularly socialise with friends (eating and drinking), and go to the gym (for which you would need to drive me). If I have nothing planned any day, I will go for a walk / coffee with my carer with me as I need help with things like opening doors / paying. You will work alongside another carer for my morning (7am-10am) and evening routines (7pm-9pm)

WHAT YOU’LL BE DOING:

This role is to support our male client with a spinal cord injury within his own home in Harpenden. Our client lives at home with his wife. You will move into the client’s home for 2 weeks minimum at a time and support him with personal care (including washing, dressing and toileting), moving and handling, domestic tasks and social activities. This will include driving his vehicle, so you must hold a full clean UK drivers licence.
You will be working alongside another carer for our clients morning routines (7am-10am) and evening routines (7pm-9pm).
We are looking for candidates with previous care experience to work with this client.
