I'm an 80-year-old woman living in my own home in Penarth. I have a diagnosis of Lewi Body dementia which as you can imagine has changed my life dramatically. Since the age of 16 I travelled alone, internationally. If you name any place in the world, chances are I've been there, or at least very nearby. I've owned care homes abroad and led a very interesting and exciting life.
This position is subject to satisfactory references and a DBS Disclosure (Police Check), which must be completed prior to the commencement of employment. The cost of this check will be covered by the Local Authority.
All necessary checks will be conducted to verify that any candidate has the legal right to work in the UK before employment begins.
Although this is a part-time role, it is a legitimate position requiring the submission of a National Insurance number. Employment will commence under an initial trial period.
Wages will be paid on a 4 weekly basis and appropriate holiday pay will be provided.
