Female Driver Live-in Carer Professional

We are seeking a proactive, physically fit and highly experienced Live-in Care Professional to support a client in the KT21 area. This role is supporting someone living with mid to late-stage dementia, where consistency, reassurance and calm confidence are essential. The client is often guided by how she feels in the moment rather than memory, and her engagement and mood can change quickly. She may also experience periods of anxiety and paranoia, requiring a care professional who is highly skilled in de-escalation and able to respond calmly, confidently and professionally at all times. A key aspect of this role is that the client may follow or shadow the carer closely throughout the day, often wanting to remain nearby or involved in what the carer is doing. The successful candidate must be comfortable with this level of proximity while maintaining boundaries, structure and a calm, reassuring presence. The approach required is one of gentle encouragement, not control or takeover. This is about supporting independence through prompting, routine, and muscle memory, allowing the client to remain involved in her own care wherever possible. There can be resistance around personal care, so experience in supporting people in a dignified, non-confrontational way is essential.
