Part-Time Experienced Homehelp/ Companion Required

We are looking for a reliable, kind, and patient person to provide companionship and practical household support for a lady living at an assisted living residence in Braintree, Essex.

Hours: 6 hours per week over 2 days (days and times to be agreed)

 This rewarding role involves helping to make everyday life a little easier and more comfortable. Duties will include:

 The lady is bright, intelligent, and enjoys good conversation.
