- Personal care and daily routines
- Medication support

Every person is different and sometimes simply being a friendly, familiar face can make a huge difference to someone’s day.

✓ Full UK driving licence
✓ Access to your own vehicle for work
✓ A caring, reliable and compassionate approach
✓ Good communication skills
✓ Ability to work alternate weekends
