Be different be a Homemaker Lead

• A varied role where no two days are the same. We care for individual people in the way a family member might care for someone in their home. We don’t do timetabled task-based care; we care for each individual in the way that works best for them. Whether that’s administering medication, helping make someone’s bed, arranging a family meal with their loved ones, or taking them to the beauty salon, you’ll always be doing something different. Our Homemakers focus on the tiny details that make our residents unique, and tailor care to each and every individual.
• A chance to make a real difference to our residents’ lives. Healthcare assistants, care assistants, and domiciliary care assistants often find they don’t get to spend enough time with the people they care for to make a real difference. Not at Hamberley.
