Picture this, Enid needs help in a morning to get up and ready for the day. She also likes a visit in the evening to get her settled and to ensure the house is secure overnight. If you could give a few consistent hours every week to help, this could be the difference between Enid living independently or Enid needing the full time assistance of a care home.
* You will have regular clients to make sure you are able to build professional relationships with them.
* Travel time is always allocated separate to the call duration.
* No Uniform- this breaks down the barrier to clients resistant to care.
Being a Care Assistant means you need to be adaptable, personable but ultimately put others first. Your role may include:
• Companionship
• Helping with personal care
• Helping with mobility around the home
• Overseeing medication and providing medical support
• Helping with housework such as cleaning and vacuuming
• Preparing and cooking meals
• Running errands such as food shopping or picking up prescriptions
