Working in and around Selkirk, including nearby towns like Galashiels, Melrose, Newtown St Boswells, Earlston, Hawick and Innerleithen, you'll be supporting clients in their own homes – helping with daily routines, providing companionship, and promoting a calm, familiar environment key to dementia support.
