About the Role
Paragon Home Healthcare is seeking a lively, cheerful Live-in Carer to support a lovely lady who has a Spinal Cord Injury and is partially paralysed. The client resides independently in a well‑equipped, adapted home in the Aylesbury HP19 area. She is supported by two live‑in carers who work collaboratively to provide consistent care while ensuring each carer has ample rest and support.
This role is ideal for someone who doesn’t mind travelling, as the client visits her family overseas once a year and will need the carer to accompany her. Additionally, the carer will be required to assist with driving the client to local appointments, shopping, and outings. With this client, you’ll be engaged in a 2‑week live‑in assignment, succeeded by a 2‑week rest period. Following a 1‑week rest, you have the option to work with another client for 1 week. Alternatively, if eligible, you can be part of our Standby rota, working conveniently from home. We provide comprehensive training and support.
