Hi,

I am 65 years young and looking for a Female Support Worker to join my existing team - I don t mind what your age or orientation is, but I would prefer a female with excellent communication skills, a great sense of humour, kind, honest, and happy to support me getting out and about and completing my therapies.

I need support with personal care and all aspects of daily living. I use a wheelchair to get around and I have my own wheelchair accessible van so we can go out on trips. I enjoy a coffee and a chat, a look round the shops and have an interest in travel; this used to be my hobby and I loved to holiday abroad. Now I like to reminisce and tell stories of my travels and hear about yours.

I live alone in my beautiful bungalow, and I have two grown up daughters who visit often and are very important to me. If you are interested in joining me, please apply.

Wicked sense of humour, love of a coffee and a chat essential!
