The Role is to support a disabled parent who is a wheelchair
user in the Crosby area with infant care, personal care, and household tasks.
This is not a nannying role – the carer will be supporting the parent to care
for their baby and maintain independence at home. This role includes a strong
social and relational element, as you'll be working closely with the parent in
their home. It’s important that you're someone who can build rapport and bring
good energy to the day. Equally essential is the ability to recognise when
quiet, calm support is needed and to work independently and sensitively when
required.
