Job description

Do you have the skills to be an amazing Care Assistant/Support Worker? Each day will be different, and you'll need to think on your feet‑whether it's helping a client with mobility, assisting them with daily routines like bathing and dressing, or simply sitting down to enjoy a cup of tea together. You will need a listening ear, ready to hear incredible life stories, and sometimes, offering a simple chat to brighten our clients' day. And providing an extra pair of eyes when needed, to keep track of medication, or helping a client find their glasses. You don't need to be a Michelin star chef, but if you can make a cup of tea and help prepare a light meal, you're just who we need. You might also be called upon to help with light housekeeping or organising their home so that it's safe and comfortable.
