A care assistant supports customers with personal care, household duties and companionship.
Our local visiting care services support people to live independently in the comfort of their own home. By doing this, you'll be providing them with an invaluable service that enables them to continue residing in the home they know and love. What’s more, they can live life in the way they choose.
Providing a diverse range of healthy meals can be a huge part of effective live-in care. Our live-in carers offer meal preparation for breakfast, lunch and dinner, although some customers choose to do their own cooking.
One of the things you'll learn on your assessment day is how to help a customer administer their medication in a safe and appropriate manner.
One of the benefits of receiving care at home is that customers are not parted from their furry friends. Some of our live-in carers help out by taking pets for walks and ensuring they're properly fed.
It's likely that your customer will be living with limited mobility, so they may ask you to do their weekly shopping for them or pick up a prescription on their behalf.
A big reason why many people opt for live-in care is so they have round-the-clock assistance with routines such as toileting, bathing and dressing.

One of your main responsibilities will be to ensure your customer isn't left feeling isolated or unsupported. Companionship might mean sitting down with them for a cup of tea while you watch a quiz show together.
You may need to help your customer access certain parts of their home and support with strenuous activities like getting into bed. We'll make sure you're fully trained to provide safe mobility assistance.
If your customer is living with a complex or advanced medical condition, it's likely they'll require more sophisticated care. In this instance, you may work alongside a fully-qualified nurse to provide clinical care.
