We are seeking a compassionate and experienced female carer to provide visiting care for an 88-year-old lady living in Bromley, London, who is living with advanced dementia (level 6).

• Building a trusting, patient relationship with the client, taking the time to understand her needs, preferences, and communication style
• Ensuring the client's comfort, safety, and dignity at all times
• Monitoring and reporting any changes in the client's condition

Ideal Candidate:

• Female carers only (as per family preference)
