Newcastle upon Tyne, Newcastle upon Tyne, United Kingdom UKCIL Full time
**My husband and I would be very grateful for the help of two care workers to support him in our home.
This is in the countryside 10 minutes (by car) from Hexham or Corbridge.
He has pancreatic cancer.

The help we need is mainly with personal care due to limited mobility (showering, dressing) and to reduce the risks of falls and make sure he has what he needs to hand while I attend to essential tasks outdoors.

My husband is fully able to communicate and is a pleasure to be with.

He does however find talking tiring now, so some of the role would involve simply being within earshot to respond if he needs anything.

He is most comfortable with people who are kind, supportive and positive in their outlook.
We have two gorgeous dogs who will also want to become your friend.
Hours of work: 14 hrs per week which include days, evenings, and weekend calls.

Care plan is for 1 hr call in the morning and 1 hr call in the evening 7 days a week (working in pairs).

Days and times to be discussed at interview to suit all parties, ideally with flexibility to cover for holidays / sickness.

£11.91 per hour and 5.6 weeks holiday (pro rata)

Main Duties:

Support with personal care, dressing/undressing, and helping to reduce the risk of falls.

Some light meal preparation and household tasks, and possibly support around pain management (although handling medication will not be required).
