As a Sonderwell Complex Care Assistant, you can make a real difference to people's lives, by caring for their complex needs and enabling them to live the life they choose. You'll join a supportive team, that'll provide all the training and development you need to support your client, helping you get the most out of this rewarding and fulfilling role.
Main duties of the job
Everyone is different. That's the simple truth at the core of our approach to care. And the care opportunities we offer are different, too, from taking clients to medical appointments or helping them get up in the morning, to spending a full twelve hours helping them through their day. Whatever you choose, you'll be there to look after that person's unique needs. What's hugely important is your ability to build a connection with the people you're caring for. And, of course, you'll need to be able to handle the physical aspects, too.

Supporting you
Being a Sonderwell carer isn’t just about caring. It’s about being good with people, too – being able to gain the trust of clients and their families. That’s why, if you have a caring personality and some relevant experience, we’ll give you access to online and classroom training in specific complex care needs, as well as the chance to study for a relevant NVQ. Depending on the client, you may be working on your own or part of a team. If you wish and have the availability, you could provide support to more than one client. Before you start, you’ll have the chance to meet your client and their family. And when you do, you’ll have day-to-day support with a Care Co-ordinator or Nurse Manager always on hand to answer your questions. You’ll also be able to access our ‘Carer App’ which is a fantastic source of insight and information. In short, we’ll give you all you need to get the most out of this rewarding and fulfilling role.
