Care Assistants, or Care Workers, are responsible for helping people in need in their day-to-day lives. As a Care Assistant, you’ll generally be working with less able, seriously ill, or elderly people who need support with things many of us take for granted. It can be a very demanding job, but also highly rewarding, as you’re having a positive impact on people’s lives every day.
The following skills will be important if you’re considering a career in care:
* Good written and verbal communication
* Empathy and understanding
* Organisation
* Good numeracy
* Willingness to work a variety of different hours
* Able to stay calm in demanding situations
In terms of qualifications, while there are often no official requirements from employers, they can certainly help. Learning more about the profession and gaining additional qualifications through an apprenticeship scheme may also be possible.
The duties of a Care Assistant include assisting with daily activities, including personal care and meal preparation. As an Agency Care Assistant, you must:
* Be over the age of 18 to apply
* Have the right to work in the UK
* Have a genuine passion for working in the healthcare sector
