Overview
Perfect opportunity for local work for those based in the Chesterfield area. You will be working within a unique residential service where each resident has their own flat. This service offers a "community care within the building" model, allowing you to provide essential support without the need for travel between locations. Residents are semi-independent, but the role involves delivering personal care similar to that of community care. You will also be responsible for administering medication, assisting with meal preparation, carrying out domestic tasks, and supporting residents on local shopping trips. Some residents require double-up care and assisted moving using hoists and other mobility aids. The service operates on a schedule of planned care calls, with additional ad-hoc visits based on residents’ needs. If you are looking for a new opportunity that offers ongoing hours, a strong sense of community, and the feel of community care without the travel, we would love to hear from you.
