London, United Kingdom Guidant Global Full time

Guidant Global is a leading recruitment partner for local authorities, providing a high calibre of Care Support staff. We are interested in hearing from Support and Personal Care Workers who want to join our team and assist with day-to-day support for service users within Hertfordshire County Council Residential and Supported Living Units.

We are looking for competent care assistants to support physically and/or mentally challenged service users in their everyday lives, enabling their independence as far as is possible. The support is for those with needs including those recovering from an operation or illness, with mild to severe learning disabilities, mental health difficulties, sensory impairments, dysphagia, epilepsy, and the beginnings of age-related conditions, particularly dementia. The fulfilment and satisfaction that comes with helping others surpasses the challenges of this job.

If you are a compassionate, positive person who isn't afraid to work hard, then this is the job for you. We expect you to be polite and a good communicator. Experience in housekeeping tasks and caring for the elderly or sick will make you a strong candidate.

N.B. We provide services to the general public, customers, and service users, therefore you must be able to communicate fluently in the English language, both verbally and in writing.

Your responsibilities will include:

  • Following care plans, routines, guidelines, risk assessments, and Behaviour Management Plans
  • Assisting with personal hygiene, bathing and dressing
  • Administering medication as required (with training)
  • Mobility support: moving and handling, hoisting
  • Assisting clients with physical therapy exercises
  • Assisting with preparing appropriate meals and feeding where required
  • Providing social interaction and emotional support
  • Household chores, including tidying, cleaning, washing, ironing and shopping
  • Paperwork: Write handover notes and inform physicians or supervisors of uncommon events
  • Act quickly and responsibly in cases of emergency

Requirements and skills:

  • Proven experience as a personal care assistant
  • Committed to health and safety
  • Able to do housework tasks and cook a balanced meal
  • Well-organised and reliable
  • Excellent communication and people skills
  • Positive and compassionate attitude
  • Strong ethics
  • Physical stamina

A good Care Assistant is a compassionate, supportive and well-rounded individual. Maintaining reliability and organisation is also vital. These traits are imperative to provide the necessary support and comfort to recovering, disabled or frail clients.

Training and annual refresher training will be provided by Guidant Global.

You must have access to transport to be able to get to the various sites throughout Hertfordshire, including Hemel, Watford, St Albans, Abbots Langley, Bushey, Bishop Stortford, Rickmansworth, Welwyn Garden City, Hoddesdon, Potters Bar, Letchworth and Stevenage.

Guidant Global (BH4SF) is acting as an Employment Business in relation to this vacancy.
