Are you looking for a rewarding role in care?

Would you love to support people to remain in their own homes?

If so, why not join our team at Optimum Care. As a Community Carer, you will support our clients in their own homes. You will work within one location/area, on either single or double runs.

We have two shifts, day and evening (times detailed at the bottom), we will give you a contract with guaranteed hours, and you select how many shifts you can fulfil each week.

• Have a desire to care for people in their own homes

Your Role

You will care for our clients in their own homes assisting with personal washing, dressing/undressing, providing snacks and refreshments, and prompt/administering medication. You will use approved equipment such as hoists or slide sheets to assist clients and provide practical support such as light cleaning, shopping and washing.

Most importantly, you will encourage and promote their independence and choice whilst upholding their rights and dignity.

At Optimum Care, we have been providing care since 1993. We owe our success to our fantastic carers who strive to provide our clients with an outstanding service of care every day.

You too can be part of our success. Not only will you receive all the benefits outlined on this job page, but you will become part of our team always at the forefront of providing the best standard of care.
