This post is based solely in Oaklands Extra care in Swadlincote.
Are you someone with a caring personality and a desire to care for others? Do you have the ambition and drive to work positively with people, promoting choice and control to encourage their independence in personal care, mobility, medication, making meals, whilst working to their personal service plan? Understanding the needs of older people, including those with dementia, is an important part of the work. Could you make a difference to someone’s life?
