Hi,
We are looking for a reliable, calm, and patient carer for my elderly father, who has dementia and lives in Balham.
He requires support with:
* Personal care (washing, changing, toileting)
* Meal preparation
* Medication prompts
* General supervision and companionship
Due to his condition, consistency and a gentle approach are very important. He can sometimes become confused or unsettled, so we are looking for someone experienced with dementia who is calm and reassuring.
Hours:
We are looking to provide daily support (approximately 6 hours per day, split across morning, midday, and evening visits).
What we are looking for:
* Experience with dementia care
* Patient, friendly, and dependable
* Someone who can build trust and routine
* Ideally based locally or able to travel reliably
* Flexible where possible
We are moving away from agency care and are looking to build a more consistent and personal setup.
Pay:
We are looking to pay in the region of £13–£15 per hour depending on experience and fit.
Other:
* Self-employed carers preferred
* Must have the right to work in the UK
* Public liability insurance preferred
Please include in your message:
* A short note about your dementia care experience
* Your availability for morning, midday, and evening visits
If this sounds suitable, please get in touch.
Thank you
