* Administer medications (where trained/authorised) and assist with mobility or transfers, including the safe use of equipment such as hoists or Hoyer lifts.
* Maintain a clean, safe, and welcoming environment that promotes wellbeing and independence.
What We're Looking For
* Essential: empathy, patience, and a genuine desire to improve quality of life.
* First Aid and CPR certification (or willingness to obtain).
* Previous experience in community care, group homes, or assisted-living settings is an advantage.
* Comfortable supporting people with dementia, Alzheimer's, autism, or other developmental/health conditions.
