Job Description
Join Our Caring Family at ND Care & Support!
We're looking for compassionate and fun individuals like you!
At ND Care & Support, we believe in making a positive difference in people's lives-and we need caring, kind-hearted people to help us do just that. If you're someone with a great sense of fun, a positive attitude, and a genuine desire to help others, then this could be the perfect role for you! Don't worry if you've never worked in care before-we'll provide all the training and support you need to get started.
Who Are We?
Since 2010, ND Care & Support has been helping people live happy, healthy, and independent lives across Wales. We provide personalised care to children, young adults, older adults, and everyone in between. We're proud to be a registered member of the Care Inspectorate Wales (CIW) and are committed to delivering care that truly makes a difference.
What's the Role?
As a Care Assistant with ND Care & Support, your role will include:
Personal Care: Helping with daily tasks like bathing, dressing, grooming, and toileting.
Emotional Support: Offering companionship and a listening ear to improve the well-being of our service users.
Household Help: Assisting with light cleaning, meal preparation, and laundry to create a safe and comfortable home environment.
Health Monitoring: Keeping an eye on any changes in health or behavior and reporting them to the right people.
Encouraging Independence: Supporting our clients to stay active and do the things they enjoy.
Transport & Mobility: Helping with getting around, whether it's to appointments or social outings.
Record Keeping: Making sure we keep accurate records of the care you provide and any important observations.
What We Offer:
We love rewarding our team for all their hard work and dedication, so here's what you can expect when you join us:
Free DBS Check, Social Care Wales Registration, and Blue Light Card (saving you over £70!).
Paid Travel & Waiting Time - because we know your time is valuable.
Great Pay: £13.45 per hour on weekdays and £14.01 per hour on weekends (this includes your rolled-up holiday pay).
Refer a Friend Bonus: £150 for you and your friend if they join us (paid after they've worked with us for 12 weeks).
Paid Full Visits/Calls - we don't charge you by the minute.
Comprehensive 5-Day Induction & Training Programme - you'll be paid at national minimum wage once you've worked 50 hours.
Who Are We Looking For?
While experience in care is a bonus, it's not a must-what's most important is that you're:
Caring & Compassionate: You love helping others and want to make a real difference in people's lives.
Flexible & Calm: You can adapt to new situations with patience and a positive attitude.
Reliable: You can commit to set shifts (07:00-15:30) each week.
A Driver with Your Own Vehicle: You'll need to travel within the community to provide care, so a full driving license and business insurance are a must.
Ready to Join Us?
If you think this sounds like the perfect role for you, we'd love to hear from you! We're excited to welcome you to our friendly and supportive team at ND Care & Support, where you'll be making a difference every single day.
We can't wait to hear from you!
