Care Professional Responsibilities

As a Care Professional, you'll help older people maintain their independence, dignity and quality of life in the comfort of their own homes.

Every client is different, so no two days are exactly the same. Your visits could include:

• Companionship: Sharing conversations, enjoying hobbies and providing meaningful social interaction.

• Home help: Preparing meals and helping with light household tasks.

• Community support: Accompanying clients to appointments, shops and other activities.

• Personal care: Supporting with bathing, showering, dressing and grooming while respecting each person's dignity, preferences and independence.

You'll have the opportunity to build trusted relationships with your clients and make a real difference through the care and attention you provide.

We're particularly interested in people who can offer availability during mornings, evenings and alternate weekends to help us meet our clients' needs.
