Caremark Worcester have recently been awarded the “Best In Midlands” award at the Nationwide awards.

**Choosing a new company**:
It can be difficult when you are at the crossroads looking to choose a new company to work for. By working for Caremark Worcester you would help us eclipse the standard of care being given, providing the best care to customers throughout Worcestershire. Become one of Caremark’s care angels today.

**Roles and Responsibilities**:
You would be responsible for meeting the support requirements of our customers, in a way that respects the individual and promotes their independence. You would travel to the customers home in Worcestershire and assist them with daily tasks, as agreed between the customer and Caremark, being a pair of helping hands with tasks that require it.

The support that you would be providing is no different to what would be given by a member of the person’s family, in the same manner you would expect someone else to care for you.

**Your role would include helping customers with tasks such as**:

- Shopping & meal preparation
- Prompting with medication
- Support with daily routines

- Helping customers access the community

**Required Education, Skills and Qualifications**:
We are happy to speak to you if you’re looking to get into care for the first time, or have been in the industry for years. You might only want a few hours a week to pass the time, we would love to hear from you.

Full training is provided for anyone joining Caremark. For those looking to further themselves, we offer extra opportunities with training specialists.

One of our Care Assistants had this to say about Caremark’s extra training programme:
“I joined Caremark with no experience in care. The training I received helped inspire me as I gained the confidence, I needed to do a great job for their customers. I want to be a paramedic, so these experiences were invaluable and look great on my CV. They enrolled me on my level 3 in Health and Social Care and I have recently completed it. It’s nice that a company really takes an interest in its employees.”
