What Does a Care Professional Do?

No two days are the same, but every one matters.

Your morning might begin by helping support Mr Reed to have a shower and get dressed with dignity. Later, you may visit Mrs Green to ensure she's comfortable, has taken her medication, and enjoys a warm, nutritious lunch.

In the afternoon, you could take Mr Yates for a gentle walk in the fresh air. Sometimes, your most important role might simply be sharing a cuppa and a chat, bringing warmth, reassurance and friendly conversation to someone's day.

These small moments shape someone's whole day and they start with you.

No Experience? No Problem

We value life experience as much as work experience. You will receive full training and ongoing support.
