Personal Support Worker for a person P/T@ £13.74/hr in Cramlington - FTE - £26.8k Apply at UKCIL.com. Reference: 42ad7350 Can you imagine the impact of a stroke taking away the power of speech as you know it and the frustration that would surely bring? We are looking for someone reliable, friendly, chatty, caring and understanding to support a retired lady in her home who is recovering from a significant stroke. This woman has good cognition and can communicate with gestures and expression and makes a concerted effort with her speech. Support is required to ensure that this uncomplaining, good-humoured lady can safely navigate her home and garden. Independence is something she continues to strive for, and you can assist with this element of her recovery. With a house move pending, help would be appreciated to unpack and place items where wished, in the couple’s new home. There is no personal care in this role, currently. You will be required to ensure snacks and drinks are readily available to this lady. General companionship and maybe a jigsaw or two may factor in your day. This support will allow this woman’s supportive husband to take 3 hours away from the home to do the essential task of food shopping, amongst other things. If you could change the bedding and get it washed during this time that would save this gentleman the task of doing so, however he does have a clever technique he will happily share! This couple have a supportive family around them and all they need is someone to complement them. We look forward to your application.
