Companionship and trips out the house – you don't need a GCSE in history; instead, you'll have the honour of listening first-hand to a lifetime of treasured memories, and you don't need to waltz like you're on 'Strictly,' but you'll find joy in the simple pleasure of a spontaneous dance with a client during afternoon tea. Preparation and support with meals - you don't need to be a master chef, but if you can brew a cuppa that warms the soul, you're already a hero in our book. Help around the home - you don't need to be Sherlock Holmes, but your knack for finding a client's misplaced glasses will make you feel like a day-saving detective. So, what's truly essential?
