We’re looking for a kind, patient, and reliable person to support an elderly gentleman with a warm, easy-going nature and mild dementia. He lives comfortably in his bungalow, where he spends quiet days watching TV in his riser recliner chair. Although his memory can be a little patchy, he remains calm and content, and responds well to gentle, reassuring support.
Support is needed mostly on Saturdays, though not every week. Start times vary—some shifts may begin as early as midday, others later in the afternoon—and the role continues through the night until Sunday morning. Nights are usually quiet, from 10pm to 7am, with occasional assistance needed if he rings his bell for help using a urine bottle.
He requires steady physical support when walking, using a handling belt to help guide him safely between his chair, the toilet, and the bedroom. Evening tasks include heating a ready meal, giving medication with dinner and again at 8pm, helping him with undressing out of his day time clothing and assisting with his night routine. He usually goes to bed around 10pm and needs full assistance after using the toilet and walking across the corridor to his bedroom.
A clean driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential, with parking available in a layby opposite the bungalow. This role suits someone confident working alone, experienced with dementia or mobility support, and happy to provide calm, respectful care.
Hourly pay is £22, with night shifts paid at a fixed rate.
If you're looking for meaningful weekend work and enjoy supporting others in a peaceful, one-to-one setting, this could be a great fit.
Duties include:
- Medication prompting/administering
- Moving and handling
- Clinical tasks
- Other relevant duties as required
- Administration
- Housekeeping
- Companionship
- Dressing / undressing
- Bathroom assistance
- Personal care
- Light meal prep (heating up a ready meal) + encourage fluid intake
Candidate qualities:
- Respectful of the employer's privacy and confidentiality
- Reliable with good timekeeping
- Able to both follow instructions and work on own initiative
- Hygienic, tidy and well organised
- Fit and healthy to undertake the required duties
- Patient and possess excellent interpersonal skills
- Honest and cheerful
- Able to always work to high standards of health & safety
Notes:
All applicants must have the right to work in the UK and be willing to undertake an Enhanced Disclosure & Barring Service check if required.
If you are successful in your application for this position, you will be either engaged directly or employed by the individual employer and not by Independent Lives. The role may be offered on an employed or self-employed basis, depending on the suitability and agreement with the employer. If the role is employed, you will be entitled to holiday pay and issued an employment contract.
Please note: If you do not hear back within three weeks of applying, unfortunately your application has not been successful on this occasion.
