**What's involved in this job role?**

There's one thing we hear a lot from the people we care for. They're not as young or fit as they were. Life has its many difficulties. And more than anything, they want to live at home. A lot of our clients want to pass away peacefully at home and we believe that every person has the right to do so.

Our Carers make it possible. They visit people once or maybe several times a day. Getting them ready in the morning. Cooking. Shopping. Housework. Medication. providing palliative care that is holistic, respectful and dignified. We support clients, their families and loved ones through the most difficult times. Whatever they need we are there.

There's a whole other side to the job which is never reported publicly, providing friendship, reassurance and hopefully some laughs along the way. If our existing carers are to be believed, you'll get a lot out of these relationships too. It is a life changing job, that alters your whole perspective.

It's not for everyone. There'll be tough days when people take a turn for the worse or aren't exactly sweetness and light. But that's why we value your kindness and patience so highly.

Few jobs make more of an impact - and this one can become a career. You can progress to more senior or specialist positions with us.

Agapé is not just about serving the community. It's about being one. You'll be working with people who are like you and who'll be there for you through the good times and the challenging times.

Then there are amazing colleagues and care specialists you can call on with concerns, not to mention technology that lets you concentrate on care, instead of admin.

We will applaud your hard work with decent pay rates and staff benefits. And being a fast-growth company on a mission to revolutionise the care sector, there are genuine promotion prospects to team leader, care specialist or into management. We will encourage you to take your NVQS.
