Could you offer people just your time? a friendly smile and an ability to spread sunshine?

Think on your feet to make peoples days more comfortable.

We like it if your good at timekeeping, so not be late and provide care with feeling.

Oh and then there is dignity and respect, You must treat people like family not as an object.

We would need you to advocate for those with no voice, And with that you must offer them choice.

- You need to be clear about when to seek help and advice in order to keep customers safe and promote their well-being.

**Care and support**
- Give non-discriminatory care and support that values the diverse and unique qualities of each customer.
- See the whole person and not merely a list of care needs.
- Carefully listen and observe how customers prefer their care and support to be delivered on a day to day basis.
- Help them make their own decisions and to be as independent as possible.

**Work well as part of the Grace 247 Care team**
- Follow Grace 247 Care policies, procedures and guidance at all times
