Casual Care Assistant- £15.19 per hour - Working with 1 client

Are you passionate about helping others live life to the fullest? We're looking for an enthusiastic and compassionate Care/Support Worker to join our team of Personal Assistants in the Nelson area.

In this rewarding role, you'll be supporting our client with a spinal injury to live independently in their own home and community and enjoy an active, fulfilling life.

Please note you will need to be comfortable around smokers and pets, especially dogs. Due to the location, it is advisable to be able to drive to work.

A bit about us: Here at Salvere Support, we support individual clients in their own homes. Our small teams of Personal Assistants provide bespoke, person-centered care to really make a difference in our clients' lives. You’ll only be working with one client, which enables you to truly get to know them and make a meaningful difference each day.

• Additional pay for each online training course completed.
• Overtime opportunities.

All training is provided and will consist of e-learning courses, face-to-face sessions, practical training, clinical training, and competencies. The training is bespoke to the client and fully comprehensive for meeting their needs. We also provide refresher training on a regular basis, to keep your knowledge and skills current.

Who we are looking for: You must be self-motivated, well-organised, chatty, reliable, and an excellent team player. As well as being a naturally caring and compassionate person, we’re seeking Care/Support workers with:

• Giving emotional support to a person that was very active
• Supporting with personal care
• Administration of medication.
• Providing companionship
• Household cleaning as part of the day-to-day routine.
• Working well in the team of current PAs
• Prior experience in critical care is preferred but training will be given
