Evening & Weekend Care Assistant

Company Description

Hello! Is it YOU I am looking for?

Hi, I’m Betty, and I’m searching for someone with a little magic in their heart.

Not the kind you find in fairy tales — but the kind that shows up in quiet moments. A gentle soul who knows that real care is found in the little things: a warm smile, a steady hand, a kind word when it’s needed most.

I want to stay in my home, surrounded by my memories and the things that make me feel like ME. Sometimes I feel unwell and need help with personal care, but mostly, I’m looking for someone who brings light, laughter, and a sense of calm into my day.

🌿 The Magic You Bring:

• Companionship & Conversation – You make tea taste better just by being there
• Support with Shopping & Errands – You help me feel independent
• Gentle Personal Care – You treat me with dignity and kindness
• Help with Daily Routines & Appointments – You keep life flowing smoothly
• Communication & Care Notes – You help the team understand me better

💫 What Makes You Shine:

• A kind heart and a respectful spirit
• A calm presence and a good sense of time
• Willingness to learn and grow with me
• Ability to travel to visit me

You don’t need experience — just the kind of heart that sees beauty in helping others. If you’ve ever comforted a friend, helped a neighbour, or simply enjoyed making someone smile…then maybe you’re the one I’ve been waiting for.

👉 Apply now and let’s make staying at home not just possible — but magical.
