Prestige Nursing & Care Taunton are looking for someone caring and reliable for one of our lovely clients in the Crewkerne area of Somerset. Here is more information about the person you would be supporting:

I am seeking waking night support to help me into bed and to oversee me, ensuring that I am safe and have a restful nights sleep. I use a Bi-pap machine and have seizures but full training will be given so you know how best to help me. I also need support with my personal care in the morning, for showering and getting dressed for the day before you leave.’
