Live-In Support Worker – Spinal Injury

We are seeking a dedicated, compassionate Female Live-In Support Worker to provide one-to-one support for a male client living with a C5/6 spinal cord injury in a warm and welcoming family home in rural Gloucestershire.

This is a rewarding opportunity for someone who is committed to delivering high-quality, person-centred support that promotes independence, dignity and quality of life.

About the client:

The client lives with his wife, who works from home, and one of his adult daughters. His other daughter visits regularly.

The family home is set in a beautiful countryside location within a friendly village, offering a peaceful and welcoming environment. The village has a local shop, two pubs, a river and plenty of lovely countryside walks to enjoy.

The client can drive but finds driving increasingly difficult due to his condition and rural location. The successful candidate will therefore need to be confident and comfortable with driving and assisting with transport when required.

We are looking for a caring, reliable and proactive individual who can build a strong professional relationship with the client and his family, while supporting him to maintain his independence and enjoy everyday life.

You’ll also receive an additional 14.07% holiday pay on every hour worked.
