A kind and caring woman in her 30s with a genuine love for her cherished pets is seeking compassionate support. She enjoys relaxing with her favourite TV shows and has a strong passion for baking, cooking, and gardening.

In this rewarding role, you will provide person-centred care tailored to her individual needs, deliver clinical support with skill and attention, and promote her overall health and wellbeing. You will also offer encouragement and companionship, enabling her to continue enjoying the activities she loves and helping to create a positive, supportive environment where she can thrive.
Please Note: Due to the nature of our vacancies, our clients have the right to request either female or male staff.
Our client has specifically requested for female staff to work on her team.
