We are seeking two compassionate and capable female carers to provide live-in support for a lovely lady in the CT14 postcode area. This is a fantastic opportunity to join a long-term care package that values dignity, creativity, and consistency.
About the Role:
You’ll be supporting a warm and independent-minded lady living with Multiple Sclerosis (MS) who is returning home from a nursing home. She has complex care needs including fatigue that affects communication, swallowing difficulties requiring modified meals, catheter care (including washouts), and hoisted transfers.
She enjoys the little things that help her feel like herself—blow-drying her hair, wearing make-up, and getting out for meals. She also loves cooking and creative engagement, and is looking forward to being back in her own space with carers who respect her routines and individuality.
To maintain privacy during intimate care, this role is open to female carers only, in line with a genuine occupational requirement under Schedule 9, Paragraph 1 of the Equality Act 2010.
As her carer, you will be:
Supporting hoisted transfers from bed to chair and other daily routines
Preparing modified meals and encouraging good hydration
Helping to implement a bowel management plan post-discharge
Assisting with communication using tools and visual aids
Providing gentle emotional support and help with personal grooming
Supporting household tasks, light admin, and budgeting

What We’re Looking For:
A calm, adaptable, and friendly female carer who enjoys building trust and rapport. You’ll need to feel confident supporting complex physical needs with warmth and professionalism, and be happy to work closely alongside another carer as part of a live-in setup.
Key qualities:
Patience and emotional intelligence
Confidence using communication aids and following care guidance
A good sense of humour and a gentle, person-centred approach
Training & Support:
We will provide full training tailored to the client’s needs, including:
Dysphagia care and modified consistency meal preparation
