Experienced Live-In Carer
| After working for 12 years as a mental health support worker, I decided to broaden my horizons within the social care sector. I now work as a self-employed live-in carer. I work in a person-centred way with a broad range of clients including: physical disabilities, learning disabilities, Parkinson's, dementia, mental illness, palliative care and end of life care. I provide practical and emotional support to help people live a safe and independent life in their own home and community. This includes medication administration, personal care, continence care, moving and handling using hoists and other aids, cooking, cleaning and of course companionship. I am also happy to support clients to go on holiday at home or abroad (I have a wide experience of travel all over the world) I love to travel, and am an animal lover, so pets are no problem. I am also a keen motorcyclist and enjoy cooking.

Provide Companionship for the Elderly
| I am a trainee counsellor studying at the University of Edinburgh. Even though, I don't have any professional experience, for most of my life I have lived with elderly people and taken care of them as I used to live with my grandparents. I have a very understanding, patient and compassionate nature which makes me get along well with people. I understand the psyche of how the elderly work and know they require attention and companionship especially in the time of COVID. I would not take this as a job but something I feel strongly towards because bringing a smile on someones face and being there for them will give me immense happiness and satisfaction. My profession as a counsellor, already enables me and makes me have qualities to be able to listen, understand and empathise with how it feels to be experiencing any type of emotions or just even living alone wanting some company. I aim to build a strong bond with any of my clients and be there for them as much as I can.

Experienced, professional & articulate carer with a nursing background and excellent references
| I have over 20yrs experience in nursing and community care. I have worked extensively with Parkinson’s, MS, dementia, frail/elderly and LD clients. I usually start with most of my clients as a care companion, building rapport and learning about who they are and what is important to them. This naturally progresses into a more therapeutic/nursing based care model as as a client requires more assistance. I have experience of managing end of life care and liaising with other health care professionals as required. I pride myself on providing an excellent, tailored service. I love the arts, music, cooking and cold water swimming. I am self employed with a current UTR code and currently have hours available.

Experienced Carer looking for private work.
| I have worked as a carer both privately and with companies over the last 5 years. I have recently decided to get back into caring work as I personally find it to be one of the most rewarding jobs out there, and most needed during this current climate. Whether the client needs help around the house or is just in need for some companionship, I am happy to offer those services too! Ideally I'd like to build a good, strong relationship with my client on a one to one basis as I find this the best way to give them the lifestyle they want. I am very experienced with medication handling and personal care and am quite flexible with availability, so any extra call-ins needed would be no problem at all! I am very passionate about giving the client the exact care they want and deserve, making their lives as comfortable as possible. I certainly found it easier to achieve this by doing private care instead of working for a company.

Kind, patient and happy to help.
| I am currently a second year psychology student (about to become third year) and am looking for some part time work which I feel would be beneficial to the community I’m living in. My grandfather is currently in a care home in Edinburgh and I have seen the effect that companionship can have on the quality of their lives and happiness. I’d love to be able to do the same for someone else. I can do shopping, go on trips out to local places and even just be someone to talk to- my main interests are in football and I’m quite a keen reader too.
