About the Role:

Are you a calm, compassionate, and highly attentive female carer looking for a stable live-in role?

Paragon Home Healthcare is seeking two female live-in carers working together at the same time to support a gentleman who was diagnosed with Primary Progressive Multiple Sclerosis (PPMS) 15 years ago. His condition is life limiting and has been completely life changing.

He has full mental capacity but is now functionally paralysed from the neck down (quadriplegic), with limited head movement and a very weak voice. Safe and effective care requires skilled, attentive carers who are confident supporting non-verbal communication, reading subtle cues, and working calmly and patiently. He uses an eye gaze machine for some communication.

Despite the challenges of his condition, he has a good quality of life and enjoys living at home with his wife, supported by a strong network of friends and family both locally and via video calls.

This placement focuses on delivering high-quality, person-centred complex care, supporting comfort, dignity, communication, and daily routines within the client’s own home.

This is a live-in position, providing continuous support in a well-established and well-supported care package.

About the Role:

Location: BN6 – home-based placement in a pleasant residential area with amenities within walking distance

Client personality: Intelligent, thoughtful, and gentle; values calm, respectful interaction and being spoken to directly

Daily support: Full personal care, 24/7 support for all activities of daily living, complex moving and handling (two carers required at all times), communication support including eye gaze and non-verbal methods, pressure care, and supporting quality of life within a calm, structured routine.

Household:

Non-smoking

No pets

The client lives with his wife in their adapted home, with downstairs accommodation and an accessible garden, allowing him to spend time outdoors. His wife is very involved in his care, knows his routines extremely well, and works closely with the care team to ensure continuity and high standards of care. He uses community transport to attend medical appointments.
