Job Description
Be Appreciated as a Care Worker
Are you looking for a rewarding career that really makes a difference to people’s lives?
We are looking for special individuals to join our team. If you can put a smile on our customers face with your warm personality, then we want to hear from you.
At Caremark we invest time and training in our staff to enable them to develop their careers. Our employee’s well-being and happiness is as important to us as it is to you. This enables us to retain our staff, something we are very proud of, so in turn we can provide the very best of care to our customers.
If you are looking for an employer who cares about you come join our award-winning family at Caremark.
I’m interested, what’s the role?
If you enjoy meeting people, then this won’t feel too much like work.
You will be responsible for meeting the support requirements of our customers, in a way that is respectful of the individual and promotes their independence (all in the training). You are expected to travel to the customer’s home and assist them with daily tasks laid out in the Care Plan (all in the handover and supported by ongoing supervision).
The type of support that you provide is no different to what would reasonably be given by a member of the person’s family. For instance, you may be providing help with bathing and dressing or maybe preparing a tasty meal.

- Help with washing & dressing.
- Shopping & meal preparation
- Prompting and assisting with medication.
- Support with daily routines
- Respite services
- Socialising and leisure activities
- Helping customers access the community.
- Domestic duties.
Everything is covered in our training!

- Self-motivated, well-organised & reliable
- Caring and sensitive
- Flexible
- Committed to maintaining our high standards of care.
- Good communicator
