Responsibilities:
1. Assisting residents with personal care duties such as bathing, dressing, and continence care in their own homes within the Village. Providing the highest standards of care, you'll champion the dignity and independence of all our residents.
2. Supporting at mealtimes where appropriate; serving meals in their apartments or within the care home. This might involve supporting them to walk, transferring them in a wheelchair, or using a hoist.
3. Helping to promote mental and physical activity of residents through hobbies, interests, or activities within the village.
4. Answering emergency calls when the care alert system is activated.
5. Working with the Domiciliary Care Manager and other external professionals such as GPs, Chiropodists, Occupational Therapists, and Physiotherapists where appropriate.
6. Admin duties: keeping accurate records - maintaining full documentation at all times to show care given, activities, and any changes to their health.
You have experience of working in a care or dementia setting or you may have a Level 3 in Health & Social Care (or equivalent), but above all, you'll be passionate about caring for others, respecting people's choices, and always putting their safety and welfare first. A great listener with a positive outlook, you're confident talking to both residents and their families and understand that confidentiality is very important in what we do. Always ready to lead by example and support the wider team, you'll deliver care with dignity and compassion and work to put a smile on our residents' faces every day.
