Purpose of Position

To assist people in their own homes in retaining or regaining their skills and confidence, enabling them to manage daily tasks again after a period of illness or injury.

Flexibility is essential to take on packages, assess clients' capacity on short notice, and implement aids to help them retain independence.

• Making Food & Drinks:
  Empower and assist individuals in preparing their own food and drinks, helping where necessary.

• Housework:
  Encourage individuals to do as much as they can for themselves, exploring alternative methods to accomplish difficult tasks.

• Shopping:
  Identify personal preferences and encourage individuals to continue with day-to-day tasks, such as shopping.

• Family, Friends & Community Groups:
  Help individuals establish or maintain contact with family, friends, and community groups. Support their reconnection with the local community by providing information and building confidence to go out and use public transport.

• Health & Wellbeing:
  Support independence and monitor health issues or deterioration, ensuring access to appropriate help when needed.
