Are you looking for a role where you can genuinely make a difference? A job that's heartfelt, purposeful, and rewarding every single day?
We're creating a new Care in the Home team and are seeking compassionate, dependable Female Support Workers to help a friendly, independent woman settle into her new home in Durham as she continues life with a spinal cord injury.
This role is more than providing care it's about championing independence, building trust, and supporting someone to live life fully.
About the Client
She's a vibrant, friendly woman who loves to look and feel her best getting her hair and nails done is one of the little rituals that bring her joy. Comfort matters to her, but so does staying involved in the everyday activities she enjoyed before her injury, and she's determined to keep pushing for as much independence as possible.
Therapy is an important part of her routine, including regular hydrotherapy sessions. She's also looking forward to spending more time in the kitchen, trying out cooking again and getting hands-on with new skills.
A true animal lover, she previously studied zoology and enjoys being around pets while she doesn't have any of her own at home, the family cat may make the occasional appearance. She'll be settling into her new rental home and living independently, with her mum dropping in for visits or the odd stay to offer a bit of extra company.
