Live-out Care Worker - Needham Market

Job Description

To work with a group of older people who want to stay in their own homes rather than go into an institution. Our client's mental and physical abilities vary widely. At the easier end of the scale are those who are mentally able but physically frail and just need someone to check on them and perhaps help with domestic tasks. At the more demanding end are those who are severely disabled, perhaps by a stroke or car accident and need full personal care and use of special equipment. We also provide services to people with early stages of dementia and those with terminal illnesses.

Duties will include helping people to wash and dress, toileting, bathing, meal preparation and prompting medication.

We also need to check references and criminal records and have a face to face interview before we can offer work. If you are offered work you then have to go through a training programme before you are allowed to work alone.

Because the recruitment and training process are quite long we are looking for people who can commit to a minimum of 12 months contract.

If you are interested in applying please email your cv or tel 01473 744111 and ask for Teresa.

We are based in Ipswich in Suffolk (about 1 hour by train from London). We can help you find accomodation.
