Job Summary
I am seeking a Self Employed Private Carer(s) for the hours Tuesday 7am-7pm, Friday 7am-7pm, Friday 7pm-7am, Saturday 7am-7pm and alternating Sundays 7pm-7am.
This is caring for a 34 year old female with complex health needs, both physical and mental. Ranging from mobility to dietary through to Complex PTSD.
Some prior care experience is helpful but not entirely neccessary as training is provided.
Her nutrition, medication and hydration is all given via an NG tube which you will be trained on using.
She has an SPC catheter, uses a wheelchair fulltime and the funnest part, has just got a puppy so you must be okay with Dogs.
She has epileptic and non epileptic seizures along with FND which can often leave her completely immobile so must be able to adapt to things changing at the drop of a hat!
I have left out a lot as this "summery" would read as long as a JK Rowling book if I was to waffle on about all its complexities!
The following will sound like a lot but if you like lego, beach walks, reality tv, crime documentries and have a dry sense of humor and would like to know more. Lets chat!
