Support Worker

Role Overview & Responsibilities

New year, new job!

Are you looking for a new opportunity? One where you can truly make a difference to someone’s life? Then we have just the job for you!

My Care My Home is an established and trusted provider of domiciliary care services with fantastic employee satisfaction ratings and service user testimonials. As one of our Community Support Workers, you will make home visits to our service users; providing them with the care and the confidence they need to live as independently as possible in their own homes.

We are all about building lasting relationships and ensuring that you have plenty of time at each visit to provide the kind of service we pride ourselves on, and on which we have built our enviable reputation.

We currently have exciting opportunities in local to Rock Ferry for drivers who can travel throughout this area.

About the role:

This is a domiciliary care role, which may include sits.

If you are looking for full-time work of 30+ hours per week, you should have good availability during the week to accommodate a combination of breakfast, lunch, tea-time and bedtime visits on a ‘fair share’ basis and be available to work weekends on an alternating basis – one weekend on and one weekend off. Part-time applicants should expect to provide some weekend availability over Saturday and/or Sunday, as well as having availability during the week, in order to provide consistent support to our service users.

A full driving licence and access to your own vehicle with ‘business use’ car insurance is required for this role.

Do I need previous experience?

While advantageous, we do not ask for any formal qualifications or previous experience of working within the care sector, as we provide comprehensive induction training. This includes paid job-shadowing of an experienced, senior, team member. We are more interested in your

attitudes and values, along with your ability to demonstrate a genuine passion for helping people to lead independent lives in their own home. This will be assessed via your application and at interview.

Duties include:

· Prompting/supporting with personal care and dressing (which could include assistance with intimate personal care).

· Support with light household duties, including laundry, shopping, cleaning and light meal preparation.

· Assisting with medication – this could be collecting prescriptions, prompting, or administering medication.

· Accompanying to medical appointments if needed.

· Companionship services.

What can we offer you:

· An hourly rate of £11.00

· Weekly or monthly pay, depending on your preference

· Permanent contracted hours – no zero hours contracts
