Who are we looking for?
The job is based at client’s houses so having your own transportation is essential. You must have both basic English written and verbal communication skills. We are looking for enthusiastic, caring and self-motivated individuals. You need to be forward-thinking, reliable and have a positive attitude to flexibility and change. Previous experience in a Health setting is not essential for our Health Care Assistant positions as full training and induction are provided. We are looking for the right people for the job who we can mould and develop with us.
The Values we look for:
- Empathy – Can you understand the individual’s situation and support them in a suitable manner? People who need a carer can often be shy and not want to come across as needy. If you show them you understand, you can make a great carer
- Reliability – People who you will care for will often rely on you 100%. Keeping up the schedule, being there on time, showing up and fulfilling your job duties professionally is something we need to see in the carer we hire.
- Respect – A lot of our clients are older people, people with physical disabilities, and learning difficulties. Everyone deserves respect but especially people you are going to be providing care to.
- Observant – we usually care for people whose health isn’t at its best. It is essential you keep a good eye on them and spot even the smallest changes to their appetite, appearance, and behaviour as this can help prevent some more problems to develop
- Friendly – you simply need to like people! It would be difficult to care for others if you are not approachable. Generally, a happy and positive attitude helps in this kind of work – it will be easier to form relationships with our clients.
- Caring – To be a good carer you have to be caring.
