You will also be assisting with medication, use of mobility aids and personal equipment where required, and have a responsibility to report to the Registered Manager any significant changes in the health or circumstances of a client.

At Candlelight Care we believe in encouraging and enabling our clients to remain as independent as possible whilst acting in their best interests and protecting and safeguarding their wellbeing.

  • Empathetic and understanding nature, with a desire to help people.
  • The ability to work well both on your own, and with others.
  • Patience and the ability to remain calm in stressful situations.
  • Full driving license and access to your own vehicle - although walking/cycling routes are available in some areas, please enquire.
