CARE WORKER

Our care workers assist people in their own homes, or occasionally, residential care homes, extra care housing complexes or sheltered housing units, or other centre.

The type of care will vary from person to person, but may include:

Personal Care

Taks may include helping people go to the toilet, changing continence pads, washing and bathing, helping people get up and go to bed

Practical Support

Domestic tasks such as laundry, cleaning, shopping, taking people out to the shops, doctors or other social events

Specialised Care

Supporting people with more complex needs, for example, end - of - life care, people with acquired brain injury, people living with an ongoing illness or condition.

Regardless of the physical assistance provided, it is often the emotional support and connection that people receiving the support have with their care workers, which makes the difference to them.

Experience not essential, as full training is provided.
