The vacancy
Hours:
Zero hour contract
Are you looking for a career that's both rewarding and offers opportunities to develop, but dread the thought of a desk job?
Are you a people person who can strike up a conversation with anyone?
Do you want to finish work knowing you've made real a difference to someone's life?
If this sounds like you - we've got the perfect match
As a Care Worker with Housing 21 you'll be part of a friendly, supportive team as you work together to support our residents.
Once you're at work that's it - no travelling between calls as residents live independently in their own apartments within our schemes, which also offer communal lounges, gardens, cafés/bistros and hair salons for them to enjoy.
Working with familiar residents and colleagues every day, you'll build strong relationships and feel part of the Extra Care family.
We want to make sure you feel valued too and have developed our offer to set us apart from the wider care sector.
Our Care Workers:
- Are paid by the hour, not by the job.

- Will be supported to achieve relevant qualifications
- Can join our Extra Care Academy support and training to progress into management
Is it for me?

About the role

- Our residents tell us how important our Care Workers are to them, being a friendly face, brightening their day and helping to make life worth living by doing the simplest of things
Tasks can include:
- Supporting with household and domestic tasks, such as laundry, shopping, cleaning, and financial transactions such as paying bills.
- Making meals, drinks and snacks where necessary.
- Encouraging and enabling residents to follow agreed care plans.
- Assisting residents with getting up in the morning, providing personal care including washing / bathing and dressing; helping with undressing and going to bed in the evening, as well as providing help and ensuring medication is taken as required.
