Care Assistant

What you’ll do

Our care assistants are the extraordinary people who do the everyday things that mean so much to our clients. Supporting them to live safer and supported lives in their own homes, you’ll follow individual care plans and assist with personal care, helping clients to bathe, dress, manage incontinence, use the toilet and supporting them with their medication. You’ll also help with practical tasks like shopping, mealtimes and housework.

Duties will include:

• Research the community and introduce service users to third-party sectors with the view of integrating further into the community, increasing social skills, confidence, and independence.
• Attending meetings with relevant professionals (social workers, OTs), the rest of the team and the team leader to feedback on progress, discuss current cases and various methods to progress further and enable more independence.
• Completing relevant referrals to Delta Wellbeing for supportive technology e.g., Reminder clock, medication dispenser, door sensors, GPS watch
• Encouraging the client to reach, achieve and maintain goals set by social workers with minimal input from the provider.
