Community Carer

Are you a caring, honest person, with good practical skills and a friendly and cheerful disposition?

Would you enjoy visiting service users in their own homes to ensure they get the helping hand and care they need? If you have previous experience within a healthcare capacity or similar or are looking for a change of career, you may be just the person our client is looking for – being a carer can be a very rewarding role.

You will have a genuine passion for caring or the desire to understand how important this role is to the daily lives of those you care for and be a team player, but equally able to work on your own initiative.
