Picture this, Enid needs help in a morning to get up and ready for the day. She also likes a visit in the evening to get her settled and to ensure the house is secure overnight. If you could give a few consistent hours every week to help, this could be the difference between Enid living independently or Enid needing the full time assistance of a care home.

• You will have regular clients to make sure you are able to build professional relationships with them.
• Travel time is always allocated separate to the call duration.
• No Uniform- this breaks down the barrier to clients resistant to care.
