Self-employed support worker wanted (no personal care) for a young at heart lady in my early fifties.
I am looking for a special someone to support me to access the community in my local area. I can become very anxious, and this impacts my ability to leave my home. I need encouragement and gentle persuasion. I don’t want to be isolated but need time to develop relationships, to get to know you and for you to know and understand me. I have a very supportive husband, but he also needs a break to pursue his own interests. I currently don’t have great relationship with food, so again would need very gentle encouragement in this area. I currently shop online but would like to go shopping, this is something I will need to build up to. There may also be very occasional overnight care required.
If you think you are the person I’m looking for please apply for this vacancy.
