Daily activities might include personal care, medication, domestic tasks, shopping, offering choices, social inclusion and social support.

Many people have care experience, without them realising some examples are:- supporting the elderly, providing regular support/help to buying the shopping for a neighbour who is struggling to go out.

We don't need you to have previous professional care experience as we offer comprehensive training built from our own mix of experience in the Health and Social Care sector.

If you are experienced and interested in joining Inchwater, then you might find Inchwater Home Care a little different. We offer you the time to provide excellent support and offer continuity of care with your own specific clients.
