Home care / Domiciliary care workers: DRIVERS ONLY AND USE OF OWN CAR @£14/hr

We are looking to recruit the right candidates who have a commitment to assisting vulnerable people with a passion to improve the quality of life for our patients.

• As a care assistant you will be required to support and help people with all sorts of tasks including shopping, housework, laundry and even personal admin. In most cases, though, care assistants largely support people with their personal care needs.
• Personal care is intimate support that requires helping a person to wash or dress, use the toilet or prepare meals. It could also involve helping someone to take medicines or manage incontinence.
• You may be expected to handle the most personal of tasks. If you think you’re unable to handle nudity, bodily fluids and any associated mess, you probably aren’t cut out for care work, but do, remember that there was a first time that every care assistant had to help someone change a pad or wipe their bottom, its personal, its private and we aim to make this process as dignified as possible.
• Working with people who are unwell can also mean that most care assistants will eventually deal with people that are receiving care towards the end of their life. Sometimes, you may even arrive at a client’s home to find they have died. This is sad at best and traumatic at worst but, as one of our care assistants, we’ll always make sure that you are prepared to cope with the death of a client when it happens and are supported afterwards to process and move on from the experience.
• It’s important that we don’t pretend that care work isn’t sometimes messy, upsetting and tiring and it is also one of the most rewarding jobs anyone can do.
