Carer /Support Worker
Job ref. PUR-092-650
About me
A caring family in Hertford is seeking a compassionate and patient Personal Assistant / Companion Support Worker to support a 43-year-old gentleman living with a rare form of early onset Familial Alzheimer’s Disease.
He lives at home with his mother in a beautiful countryside property in the SG14 area, surrounded by large gardens and stunning views. Despite being in the later stages of his condition and having very limited speech, he remains physically active and enjoys spending time with people he knows and trusts. He communicates mainly through gestures, facial expression and pointing, and responds best to calm, reassuring and consistent support rather than constant conversation.
He enjoys using the home gym, playing table tennis, walking the dog, watching comedy programmes and nature documentaries, and spending time outdoors. Prior to his illness, he was a keen runner and fitness enthusiast and still benefits greatly from remaining active and engaged.
Due to medication and the progression of his condition, he can experience dizziness, fatigue and periods of confusion, meaning he requires close supervision and gentle support throughout the day, particularly when using stairs or moving around the home and community.
Hours and rate of pay Initially 9–12 hours per week
Potential for additional hours as the role develops
Flexible working days to be agreed
May include weekday afternoons and/or weekends
£20 per hour
Location Hertford (SG14)
DBS/Checks Confirmation of DBS check
Right to Work and references will be needed.
Training Training will be offered to enable to complete the mandatory training required:
• Safeguarding Adults
• Introduction to first aid
• Health and Safety
What you would be doing…
Providing active companionship and close supervision throughout shifts
Participating in activities such as table tennis, gym sessions and countryside walks
Supporting short community outings and local walks
Accompanying and supervising him on stairs at all times due to fall risk
Prompting and reminding him to eat, drink and use the toilet regularly
Encouraging rest and naps when signs of fatigue or agitation appear
Assisting with dressing, including coats, hoodies and layers as needed
Supporting with personal care as trust and familiarity develop
Completing a brief handover or shift record at the end of each session
The person I would like…
This role would suit someone who understands the value of calm companionship and meaningful presence. The right person will enjoy building a genuine connection over time and supporting someone to remain active, safe and engaged within a beautiful home environment.
The family is close, caring and highly supportive, and they are looking for someone who will become a valued and trusted part of that support network. Many people find this role deeply rewarding once they understand the unique communication style and personality of the client.
One-to-one support role
No hoist required
Driving is helpful but not essential
Male or female applicants welcome
Ideal age range late 30s to mid 40s, though all suitable applicants will be considered
