This job description makes references to both Daily Home Care, and Live-In Care, as our experience is that sometimes Home Care Assistants may work in both areas of the business from time to time.

Daily home care means any work involving short (e.g. 1 hour calls, day sits, shifts, sleepovers). Live-in care means an assignment of more than 24 hours duration (normally one or more weeks) where you are living in with the client.

Role Purpose

1. The role of the Care Worker is to perform duties and tasks to enable our clients to continue living within the comfort of their own homes in a safe and secure way.

2. The role involves supporting clients who may have a wide range of differing requirements and whose needs may range from companionship and domestic support to personal care.
