Working in care is not just a job; it's an extraordinary opportunity to be a hero in someone else's story. Every day, care workers have the power to transform lives through compassion, dedication, and the simple act of being there for those who need it most. Whether comforting someone in their most vulnerable moments, offering a gentle touch, or providing essential support, care workers embody the essence of heroism. It's not about grand gestures, but the small, everyday acts that make an immeasurable impact on the lives of others.

- **Mental Health Support**: Be attuned to the client's needs, offering support during times of depression and anxiety.
- **Personal Care**: Provide thoughtful assistance with personal care routines, including hair washing, oral hygiene, and toileting.
- **Mealtime Support**: Collaborate in meal preparation, ensuring nutritional needs are met.
- **Medication Assistance**: Administer prescribed medication with care and attention.
- **Mobility Support**: Help with mobility challenges, including wheelchair use and hoisting.

**Requirements**:

- Valid driver's license with proficiency in driving a manual minibus with wheelchair access.
- Previous experience in providing compassionate care, with a focus on mental health support.
- Excellent communication and interpersonal skills.
- Willingness to engage in accessible sports and activities for mental and physical well-being.

**Benefits/Package**
- Industry and bespoke training plan - tailored to meet the needs of the individuals you support
- Career development and ongoing training opportunities
- Full support and supervision
- Mileage reimbursement - increased recently to support the recent fuel price increases
- Flexible work patterns
- Rewarding opportunity to make a real difference to an individual’s life
- Working for an outstanding CQC rated provider

The refer a friend scheme is worth £200 in total. This is split £100 after the person has worked 100 hours and then another £100 when they have passed probation (6 months usually).
