Care Assistant

Picture this, Betty needs help in the morning to get up and ready for the day. She also likes a visit in the evening to get her settled and to ensure the house is secure overnight. If you could give a few consistent hours every week to help, this could be the difference between Betty living independently or Betty needing the fulltime assistance of a care home.

The job satisfaction that accompanies a Care Professional role is immeasurable. The feeling of making a real difference in an older person’s life; enabling them to remain in their own home, the place they feel safest, is incomparable.
