Care Assistant – Domiciliary/Home Care

Make a genuine difference in someone's day.

We are looking for compassionate, reliable and motivated Care Assistants to join our growing home care team. You will support individuals in their own homes, helping them remain safe, comfortable and as independent as possible.

This is a rewarding role for someone who enjoys helping others and takes pride in delivering high-quality, person-centred care. Previous care experience is welcome but not essential, as full training and ongoing support will be provided.

As a Care Assistant, you will visit clients in their own homes and provide support based on their individual needs, preferences and care plans.

Your responsibilities will include:

• Supporting clients with personal care, including washing, bathing, dressing, grooming and toileting
• Assisting with mobility and safe movement where required
• Supporting clients to maintain their independence and make their own choices
• Following individual care plans and delivering person-centred support
• Providing companionship, reassurance and emotional support
• Preparing meals and assisting with eating and drinking where required
• Carrying out light household duties to help maintain a safe and comfortable home environment
• Supporting clients with medication in accordance with their care plan, training and company procedures
• Observing and reporting any changes in a client's health, wellbeing or circumstances
• Maintaining accurate and timely care records using our electronic care management application
• Communicating professionally with clients, families, colleagues and other professionals
• Supporting clients to attend appointments, activities or outings where required

What We're Looking For

You should have:

• A compassionate and patient approach to care

• Basic IT skills and confidence using a smartphone or electronic care-record system
• The ability to work both independently and as part of a wider care team
• A willingness to learn and complete all required training
• A valid UK driving licence and access to your own car, as travelling between clients is an essential part of this role

Previous experience in domiciliary care, home care, residential care or another healthcare setting would be advantageous, but no previous care experience is required for the right candidate.
