Posted 4 hours 14 minutes ago by Allscreens Nationwide Ltd
I am a 67-year-old woman living at home with my husband in Rushden, near Buntingford. I have late-stage Alzheimer's disease and am looking for a kind, reliable female Personal Assistant to support me and provide some regular respite for my husband.
Consistency is very important to me, so I would like to work with the same person each week to help me feel comfortable and build a positive relationship. I can become upset or distressed at times, so I need someone who is calm, patient and reassuring. I used to be fun-loving and had a great sense of humour, and my family would love to find someone who can bring warmth, companionship and enjoyment to my day.
8 hours per week ideally split into:

Your role will involve supporting me at home and helping to provide a break for my husband. Duties will include:
- Accompanying me around the home and ensuring I am not left alone
- Supporting me to use the toilet when required
What you would be doing
- Preparing and serving a light lunch
- Providing companionship and emotional reassurance
- Supporting my wellbeing and safety throughout the day
- Engaging me in conversation and activities
- Accompanying me on short outings if appropriate, such as a walk, coffee trip or lunch outing
I become distracted quite easily and can only walk for around half an hour, so any outings would need to be relaxed and flexible.
We are looking for someone who is:
- Kind, caring and compassionate
- Patient, calm and understanding
The person I would like
- Friendly and able to build a good rapport
- Reliable and committed to providing consistent support
- Respectful of dignity and independence
