Job Description

The placement is to support a couple and will pay £130 per day plus a food allowance of £40 per week unless meals taken with clients. Travel will be paid from home to and from client at start and end of the placement. Bank holidays are paid at 1.5 times and Christmas and New Year's Day at 2 times.

The clients are a lovely couple who live in a large house in a village just to the north of Banbury. They have been receiving hourly support from us for almost a year but are now wanting to move to live in support.

She has a diagnosis of dementia but is still active enjoying activities in the home and walks during the day. She loves her garden and can get a little anxious at time needing reassurance when she feels like this. He has a diagnosis of Parkinsons disease but is very proud and likes to live as independent a life as is possible. He needs encouragement to be active and do his exercises daily as prescribed by his Parkinsons Nurse – without encouragement he is unlikely to do these.

Both clients receive help with personal care, medication, meal preparation and looking after the house. She is likely to need more support in general than him but neither have a high level of need.
