Summary

Infinite Care Network Ltd is recruiting an experienced, energetic and proactive Live-in Relief Care Assistant to support an independent elderly lady living with dementia and Alzheimer's disease.

This is primarily a companionship, monitoring and dementia support role rather than hands-on personal care.

The client enjoys an active lifestyle, including walking, shopping, city visits, concerts, theatre performances, sightseeing and social outings.

The successful applicant will help organise appointments, provide gentle reminders, monitor wellbeing, encourage independence and plan enjoyable activities. We are looking for someone sociable, patient, confident and able to use their own initiative.

A full UK driving licence is essential, as the role involves driving the client to appointments and activities.

The position provides one week of live-in relief cover each month while the regular carer takes her scheduled break. A private bedroom and agreed daily breaks are provided.

Pay starts from £770 per placement week, plus a £40 weekly food allowance.

Mandatory introduction and shadowing must be completed before working independently.

No visa sponsorship is available.

Apply by emailing your CV to recruitment@infinitecarenetwork.co.uk.
