Initially she is confined to her bed and needs help to transfer to bathroom from a wheelchair etc but can transfer herself so only requires supervision. With various health needs, their client requires understanding and sensitivity to building a connection and trust whilst undertaking tasks.
Their client would prefer an afternoon and evening visit as she has sleep issues but she is happy to discuss this further with the right candidate.
