Picture this, Enid needs help in a morning to get up and ready for the day. She also likes a visit in the evening to get her settled and to ensure the house is secure overnight. If you could give a few consistent hours every week to help, this could be the difference between Enid living independently or Enid needing the full time assistance of a care home.

You will have regular clients to make sure you are able to build professional relationships with them.
Travel time is always allocated separate to the call duration.
No Uniform- this breaks down the barrier to clients resistant to care.

Being a Care Assistant means you need to be adaptable, personable but ultimately put others first. Your role may include:
