Job Title
Personal Assistant / Carer
Purpose of the job
Personal Assistant / Carer required for an 83-year-old lady living in WC1N area with 86-year-old frail husband. We are looking for a FEMALE personal assistant/carer who MUST be able to speak ALBANIAN (KOSOVAN DIALECT), BOSNIAN or TURKISH and has experience with Demetia/Alzheimers.
She comes from a different generation from the Balkans, therefore she still embodies traditional norms from that time period, such as pride in her appearance, a clean home, structured routine. Despite not being able to cook or clean, she will still try to maintain her role as the head of house and help regardless of her abilities. The couple enjoy listening to music and watching music shows from the region as well as televisions shows and reading magazines.
We are very family orientated so will expect the person to be able to be an extension to our family, through trust, open communication and understanding. This is key to be able to deal with ups and downs of memory loss and the challenges that creates, like repetitiveness, mood swings, forgetfulness and lack of understanding.
It is also important for the Assistant/Carer to be an outgoing person, that likes walks, music and has a positive, bubbly attitude but also calming when this is required.
