Caremark Herefordshire and the Forest of Dean are really proud to be working closely with Herefordshire Council with some of their Direct Payment Customers as well as private referrals. Similarly in the Forest of Dean, we are working with Gloucestershire Council on re enabling customers who have recently returned from hospital as well as private referrals.
If you’ d like to come and work for a local organization that is part of a British owned, award winning network of 100+ offices in England and Wales, that has been operating nationally for 15 years and has delivered over 35 million hours of Care, you’re in the right place, so keep on reading!
A great opportunity for a car owner and driver to work on a round in the villages surrounding Ross-On-Wye.
You would be responsible for meeting the support requirements of our customers, in a way that respects the individual and promotes their independence. You would be expected to travel to the customer’s home and assist them with daily tasks as agreed between the customer and Caremark.
The type of support that you would be providing 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 domestic support.
Your role would include helping customers with tasks such as:
- Help with washing & dressing
- Shopping & meal preparation
- Prompting with medication
- Support with daily routines
- Respite services
- Socialising and leisure activities
- Helping customers access the community
It’s important to us that all Caremark Care Assistants have the following qualities:
- Self-motivated, well-organised & reliable
- Caring and sensitive
- Flexible
- Committed to maintaining our high standards of care
- Good communicator
We really need drivers with cars to get to our customers early in the morning from 7AM, over lunch and through the evening until 10PM. We’d also prefer it if you could work every other weekend!
