About the Role

This role is ideal for a calm, organised, and reliable carer who can follow a clear routine and offer respectful support. You'll provide one-on-one care, assisting with personal care, mobility, transfers/equipment, and day-to-day tasks to ensure the client's day runs smoothly. He enjoys getting out daily, so confidence driving his adapted vehicle is essential.

Location: Nottingham NG4

Driver: Essential – the client goes out every day and carers must drive his adapted vehicle and hold a clean driver's licence.

No pets. The client is a smoker, but only ever smokes outside and is completely independent with this.
