Day Carer – Woolwich, SE18 – Regular Ongoing Shifts Available ️

We are seeking a compassionate and confident day carer to support a gentleman in Woolwich, SE18. This is an excellent opportunity to join a care package focused on providing thoughtful, structured support to someone living with multiple health needs.

About the Role:

You’ll be supporting an older gentleman in his own home with personal care, mobility, and practical daily tasks. He’s a proud East Londoner – straightforward, grounded, and appreciates carers who are warm, reliable, and easy to talk to. He is diabetic and has recently experienced a drop in stamina, so he benefits from steady support to maintain routines and independence.

Please note that the client is a smoker and does smoke indoors, so this role involves working in a smoking environment.

The care requires someone calm, consistent, and proactive – able to support with physical care, medication, household tasks, and a bit of gentle encouragement to keep things on track. Available shifts may increase in the future.

As his carer, you will be:

• Assisting with transfers, personal care, and bedtime routines
• Preparing meals and drinks, supporting healthy dietary choices
• Completing light domestic tasks, shopping, and household admin
• Driving or accompanying to appointments, outings, and social activities
• Supporting with medication, therapy exercises, and basic tech use
• Encouraging conversation, comfort, and emotional well-being
