Minimum of 7-8 24 hr shifts/month (Ave 42hrs/week) you even get your own bed ;-) Needs a driver, someone over 5'5 and physically fit (would enjoy a brisk 3 mile walk). Would suit someone who has experience of 24 hour shifts (not essential) and personal care.
The criteria are non negotiable, designed to reduce wasted time and derived from prior experience.
