About the role

Patient care attendants are the step up from elder care. You work with patients freshly discharged from hospital, or with chronic conditions managed at home — stroke, cardiac, post-surgery, cancer recovery. You’re not a nurse. But you’re trained to track vitals, manage feeding tubes under nursing supervision, observe wound areas, and watch for the small signs that something is changing. You work under a care manager and a nurse for clinical questions. If you’ve worked as a hospital attendant before, or trained as a GDA (General Duty Assistant), this is a direct fit. Pay is higher than elder care because the skill ceiling is.

What you'll do

• Track vitals — BP, sugar, temperature, SpO₂ — and log them in the app.
• Feed orally, or assist with NG/RT feeding under nurse supervision.
• Observe surgical sites and wound areas; report any change immediately.
• Catheter care and incontinence management with dignity.
• Reposition bedridden patients every 2–3 hours to prevent pressure sores.
• Mobility coaching — bed to chair, chair to walker, supervised walks.
• Coordinate with the family’s physiotherapist when they visit.
• Medication adherence with timing logs.
• Hydration and nutrition tracking, including intake/output for some patients.
• Daily care reports shared with family and treating doctor (with consent).
• Escalate immediately on warning signs — fever, breathlessness, swelling, confusion.
• Maintain infection-control practices: hand hygiene, glove use, linen change.
