Job Description

We are seeking a compassionate and reliable carer to provide visiting care for an elderly couple in the Blackheath area of Greenwich, London. The care recipient is an 85-year-old gentleman living with mid-stage dementia, and his 82-year-old wife, who is his primary carer and would benefit from additional support to ease the demands of daily caregiving.

The gentleman has an established daily routine at home and responds well to familiarity and consistency. He has a strong connection to Indian culture, having been born in India and spent his formative years there, so a carer who is culturally sensitive and able to build a warm rapport would be highly valued. There is already a male carer involved in the household, and this role is intended to complement that existing support.

The wife recently had a fall, highlighting the need for a dependable carer who can be called upon both for scheduled visits and occasionally at shorter notice when unexpected situations arise.
