Job description

Could You Be the Person Someone Looks Forward to Seeing?

For some people, a visit from their carer is about much more than practical support.

It might be the conversation they have been looking forward to, the reassurance they need to start their day, or the support that enables them to continue living independently in the home they love.

Louisa Homecare Ltd is looking for compassionate, dependable Community Support Workers / Care Assistants to join our team.

We have both full-time and part-time care positions available, making this an opportunity for experienced carers as well as people looking to begin a rewarding career in health and social care.

What Will You Be Doing?

• Supporting clients with personal care while protecting their dignity and privacy
• Assisting with medication in accordance with individual care plans
• Preparing meals and drinks
• Supporting mobility and safe movement around the home
• Providing companionship and emotional support
• Helping with everyday activities and household tasks
• Encouraging clients to maintain their independence
• Recognising and reporting changes in a client's health or wellbeing
• Communicating with clients, families, carers and the office team

Who Are We Looking For?

Care experience can be valuable, but great care starts with the right person.

You could already be working as a:

• Care Assistant
• Home Care Assistant
• Support Worker
• Domiciliary Care Worker
• Community Carer
• Personal Care Assistant

Alternatively, you may be completely new to care and looking for a career where your personality and values can make a genuine difference.

We're particularly interested in people who are:

• Kind, compassionate and respectful
• Reliable and punctual
• Comfortable working independently
• Patient and understanding
• Able to adapt to different clients and situations
• Committed to delivering person-centred care
• Willing to learn and develop

Working in Domiciliary Care

Unlike working from one fixed location, home care and domiciliary care involve travelling between clients and supporting different people throughout your working day.

You will therefore need:

• A full UK driving licence
• Access to a suitable vehicle for work
• The ability to travel between clients
• The right to work in the UK

Your working pattern may include mornings, evenings and weekends depending on your agreed availability and contracted hours.

Please note: Louisa Homecare Ltd is not currently accepting applications requiring visa sponsorship.

What Can We Offer You?

• Full-time and part-time opportunities
• Mileage payments
• Ongoing training and development
• Support from an experienced office and management team
• Opportunities to develop your career within care
• A varied role where every working day is different
• The opportunity to build genuine relationships with the people you support
• A team environment where communication and quality care matter

More Than Completing a Care Call

We want our Community Support Workers to understand the person behind the care plan.

That means listening to how someone wants to be supported, respecting their choices and helping them retain as much independence as possible.

Sometimes the smallest things make the biggest difference.

If you're looking for a Care Assistant or Community Support Worker position where you can make a meaningful difference in your local community, we'd like to hear from you.
