What do the visits look like?

Our care is varied. You could provide anything from a 30-minute care visit through to longer 2, 4, 6 or even 8-hour support visits, depending on the client's individual needs.

Community care involves lone working, so once you've completed your training, shadowing and been assessed as competent, you'll travel between clients and provide care independently.

But lone working doesn't mean you're on your own - our office and on-call teams are there to support you.
