Lowestoft and surrounding areas
£12.45 - £12.95 per hour
Full-time / part-time / guaranteed and flexible hours available
Are you naturally caring and want to make a difference in people’s lives?
If you are kind, compassionate and committed, we would love for you to join our dedicated local care team, as a domiciliary care assistant for Manorcourt Homecare.
In this role, you will provide high-quality, person-centred care to individuals in their own homes, helping them to maintain their health, wellbeing, and independence.
As a Support Worker, you will be involved in supporting the daily activities of our clients in a person-centred manner; promoting their dignity, independence, well-being, and becoming an integral part of their lives. We support a wide range of clients which could include: disabled parent families, brain injury and mental health conditions, learning disabilities and Autism.
What would a typical day look like?
Whilst no day will be the same in this incredibly rewarding role, responsibilities will include:
* Supporting individuals with personal care (hygiene, washing, dressing, etc.)
* Supporting with the administering of medication
* Assisting with meal preparation
* Providing companionship and offering social interaction
* Carrying out light domestic tasks and occasional food shopping.
You will build meaningful relationships with the individuals you support, your fellow carers and your branch support teams; promoting our company values, which are at the heart of everything we do.
Due to the nature of this role, good communication skills and the ability to work independently are essential. Access to your own transport is an advantage but not essential.
Whether you are an experienced care assistant, support worker, or someone new to care, we provide full training and ongoing support to help you thrive. We will support you with a thorough induction and training programme to develop your skills, along with the guidance of a well-established team, who will truly value and support you.
In return, we offer a comprehensive benefits package including:
1. Competitive pay - with enhanced rates on weekends and
