I am a family man paralysed from the shoulders down. As I am totally dependent on others, I employ between 2 and 4 residential carers who enable me & my wife to live as normal life in the community as is possible. My carers normally work for a year or 6/7 months, mostly, but not always, starting in July or January. I am almost always advertising, so you are welcome to apply at any time. Other start dates, or length of stay can sometimes be arranged.

My family and carers share two neighbouring houses about 50 km. or 30 minutes by train from the centre of London. There are lots to see and do both on and off duty.

I have employed over 90 Danes as my carers for the last 30 years and so can provide many references from previous carers. Many applicants have just graduated from gymnasium or HF and are often, but not exclusively, interested in healthcare careers (e.g. medicine, nursing, physiotherapy, midwifery, etc). Applications of any age, gender or ethnic origin are free to apply. They just must be patient, flexible and hard-working.

My carers work consists of caring for me, helping me in my office and looking after the inside of the house in which they live. I employ a gardener and do it yourself man to complete those sorts of tasks. My carers normally work two days on and two days off. However, when I have 3 or more carers, I arrange alternative schedules. My carers mostly work with a colleague but must be prepared and willing to work on their own.

The working environment is within a modern spacious house, when at home or quality hotels or at my mother’s home in Scotland. When at home each carer has their own bedroom and they share a bathroom, a kitchen and sometimes a sitting room. Free broadband wireless internet access is of course provided.

Berkhamsted, the historic prosperous market town where we live, has many amenities including a sports centre, fitness centres, lots of pubs and interesting shops. The local area is very pleasant, surrounded by nature, with a canal, castle remains and country walks in all directions. As you can imagine nearby London offers absolutely everything, endless markets, museums, shopping, parks, art galleries, etc, even a Danish Centre and two Handball Clubs.

We do try to travel to Scotland at least twice a year, where my wife and I have close family. Scotland offers its own unique culture and history, fantastic scenery and excellent shopping. In Scotland we normally stay at my mother’s house, which is only 20 minutes by train from the centre of Glasgow, with shopping that matches London. My mother’s house backs onto lovely countryside with lots of walking and exploring possibilities. This and other travel opportunities can sometimes happen depending on our circumstances at the time, especially my health, so nothing can be guaranteed during any carers stay.

Please Note:

For the purposes of this advertisement carers are legally personal assistants. Their employer and his family are the principal decision-makers with regard to the families financial and health matters.

This employer guarantees to refund any agreed travel costs if the employee cannot travel due to the UKs changing immigration/COVID 19 policies.

Currently, the employer’s vulnerability means that his whole household must restrict their activities.

This advertisement assumes that the coronavirus will become more manageable, hopefully with a vaccine.

This employer wishes you, your family and friends good health in these uncertain times.

Qualifications:

My carers must be patient, flexible, willing to learn and work hard and have a clean drivers licence with no accidents or convictions. They must also be non-smokers and speak some English. They also need to be gymnasium or high school/secondary school graduates.

No previous experience or qualification is required. Training in all aspects of the care routine and in driving in the UK are provided. My carers are normally aged 18-24, but others of any age are very welcome to apply. My carers have had many reasons why they have chosen to care for me, although long-term ambitions in the healthcare professions are most common.

Applicants may wish to improve their English, take a year out in the UK & near London, improve their CV, gain points towards their education and/or gain experience in work which involves most of the healthcare professions, e.g. nurse, doctor, physiotherapist, occupational therapist, midwife, etc. However, these healthcare ambitions are not essential, people with other career aspirations have enjoyed the experience and have gone on to become teachers, psychologists, business managers, graphic designers, etc.

Accommodation – Meals:

Quality Safe Accommodation & Quality Food are provided free.

Salary:

Quality food & safe accommodation are free. Pay is calculated by hours and days worked. As my carers work or are on call for up to 24 hours a day, they can earn up to £230 per day before taxes. A typical month take-home pay after tax is approximately £2600 for 15 days on duty.

As the employer receives a government grant to pay his carers, the awarding authority controls future adjustments to pay.

In normal times, the employers carers enjoy many other benefits when on duty and, when possible, out with their employer including pub visits, meals out & cinema, day trips, etc. Trips out are dependent on the disabled person’s health and circumstances at the time and cannot be guaranteed.

Working Conditions:

All the best equipment is provided to help you care for your employer. The working environment is within a modern spacious house with many benefits in a picturesque area only 30 minutes by train from London.

Working Hours:

2 days on duty and 2 days off duty, although the work schedule can vary depending on how many carers I am employing at the time. My carers need to be flexible and committed to respond as needed.
