Female Care Assistant - Wombourne
Are you an experienced care assistant looking to make a real difference in someone's life? We have an opportunity for a friendly care assistant to join one of our small, supportive teams in the Wombourne area. This is a varied but really rewarding role where no two days are the same!
A personal message from our client!
I’m 69 and have lived in Wombourne my whole life. I was diagnosed with Motor Neurone Disease back in 2019. I live in an adapted bungalow and have a wonderful team of carers that provide me with 24hr care. I also have a supportive family. My 3 children and 3 grandchildren visit me regularly along with my friends and other family members. I’m a kind and friendly lady who despite everything I have been through, tries my best to have a positive attitude towards life.
I require kind-hearted, considerate, pro-active carers who can help to cover shifts, holidays and absence. You will be working 1:1 and also alongside another carer for 1-2hr double ups. We have contracted hours available but also have space for anyone looking for bank shifts.
