Job description

As a carer with Walfinch you’ll enjoy the rewards of bringing a smile into people’s lives and helping them do more and BE more.

Who you are

You’ll be as keen as we are to help people continue to live independently in their own home and carry on with their interests and activities. You don’t need previous experience, but you must be the kind of person you would like caring for your own mum. That is, committed, honest, trustworthy, reliable, respectful, and sensible, with a pro‑active and flexible approach to work. And you must have a sense of humour – here at Walfinch we like to bring fun into the lives of caregivers and clients every day!

Your role as a Carer will include:

• Bringing companionship and comfort
• Helping people get more active and get out more
• Cooking and housekeeping
• Personal care

The majority of our carers stay with us year on year. Here’s what they stay for:

• Flexible working hours – work around your family, studies or hobbies.
• Prestigious on-going professional training so you can grow specialist care skills. We have specialists in conditions such as after-stroke care, Dementia and many more.
• Longer visits – no 15‑minute calls – so you get time to get to know your clients.
• Career progression opportunities, as we are a growing company.
• 24‑hour support line, so you never feel on your own.
