Main Responsibilities As a domiciliary carer, you will provide care and support to individuals in their own homes in a variety of ways including personal care- washing/bathing/toileting, helping with medication, assisting with cooking, feeding, shopping, light domestic duties and very importantly be there to provide companionship. You will get to know the people you are caring for and gain a thorough understanding of their exact needs, helping them to achieve things that they are unable to do by themselves and allowing them to live as independently as possible. A car is an essential part of the job (these are available from the employer) as you will be visiting clients in their own homes, which are located in roughly a 10 mile radius. The Ideal Candidate As a domiciliary care worker, you must be considerate, kind hearted and compassionate with a very caring nature and a positive, sociable disposition. You will be a superb communicator knowing exactly when you should listen and when you need to step in and help. You will understand what your customers need and will do everything you can to make it happen. As a domiciliary care worker, you will have great attention to detail, often have to multi-task and always remain calm under pressure. If you have experience as a carer either in a care home, with the NHS or in private care it would be useful, although is not a necessary requirement as you will undergo a full induction training programme at a centre of excellence training academy and will then be provided with ongoing support until you are happy to work on your own.
