Job Advert

We support a gentleman in his 80s living in Caterham. He loves music and singing along, and going out in the car for a coffee. He has limited verbal communication but once he gets to know someone he really enjoys the company. He is looking for an older person, ideally with a car, to come and visit him in his home on Caterham.

He is very routine driven, and does not like his routine to be broken, so visits will initially take place on a Wednesday afternoon and include joining in the music session with him. Once he gets to know you and feels more comfortable visits can be more flexible, in summer in particular he would enjoy sitting outside and sharing a drink with you.

He has few visitors and doesn’t see many people except his housemates and care staff. That’s where you come in - by visiting every other month you will make a huge difference by giving him some special attention and company. You will also help fulfil the wishes his parents had for him when he was signed up... More Detail
