• I am a physically disabled woman living in my own family home, in New Ash Green (near Longfield/Dartford, Kent) and I value my independence.
• A position has become available on my dedicated team of female carers who support me with personal care, day to day living, and activities that help me live an active and fulfilling life.
• I am looking for local people who are enthusiastic, patient, good communicators, and who have a positive outlook, show initiative and are confident in offering practical support throughout the day.
• ·This position would suit someone who would enjoy working in a small friendly family environment and is looking for some extra shifts. At least two years experience of supporting someone with a physical disability is essential.

· As I live in a village with poor public transport links, I will also require you to drive me in my specially adapted vehicle, so you will need to be a driver with a car and you must be located not more than 40 minutes drive away (unless you live in or close to New Ash Green).

• There is also the possibility of covering other shifts when my other carers are on annual leave or on sick leave.

• Providing support with mobility and positioning, including the use of specialist equipment such as a hoist to assist with transfers, helping me to turn and reposition in bed or in my wheelchair, and supporting my physiotherapy routines.
• Supporting me with biggest passion, gardening. This involves working outdoors and indoors as I have many houseplants and a garden with trees, shrubs and flowers.
