Day in the Life of a Care Assistant...
Our Care Assistants travel home-to-home across Ringwood, Fordingbridge & Poulner areas to visit our customers and assist with daily needs. Each customer will have a tailored care plan to detail their exact needs, whether that may be medication administration/prompting, shopping trips, assisting with domestic duties around the home etc,
Our care visits can start anywhere from 30-minute personal care calls to help somebody get up, washed, dressed & ready for the day. You may also have longer companionship visits where you will have the opportunity to spend quality time with your customers and encourage them to get out into the community, go shopping, go for lunch or spend time at home taking part in their favourite hobbies with them - whether its arts & crafts, board games or jigsaws!
No two days will be the same as you will be meeting a variety of characters every day, but one thing is for certain and that you will be making a difference to people's lives in your local community & will find this extremely rewarding!
What kind of person would make a good Care Assistant...
We value life experience over previous healthcare experience (though this can certainly be beneficial). So if you have past experience in customer-facing roles (retail, hospitality, call handlers, beauticians, hairdressers etc) you may have the perfect interpersonal, communication skills that we are looking for! Also, if you are a new parent and have a strong maternal side, you may have the caring nature that would make you a perfect addition to our team.
