One key responsibility is to maintain accurate records and build strong team relationships.

Ideally, you'll have completed a Level 2 Diploma in Adult Care and be willing to work towards Level 3 or equivalent, with experience in person-centered care planning and dementia care knowledge. The most important qualities are positive energy, good record-keeping, effective time management, and kindness in communication.
