Job Description
We are hiring Homecare and support workers for the Rochdale area.
Are you caring and compassionate?
A Homecare worker is a paid care professional who visits people in their own homes, helping them to continue living independently. Every client is different and so the level and amount of care can vary, depending on the their needs. The client might be someone who needs a paid carer one hour a week or for several hours a day — the amount of time needed varies. Some people might need a care worker while they recover from an illness, and in other cases the care is long-term.
A support worker is more focussed on community support and adults with disabilities, many of our roles cover both support work and home care.
Working as a carer in the home involves:
✔ Personal care
✔ Assisting with household tasks
✔ Accompanying the client on visits to the doctor or hospital
One day you could be assisting someone with mobility issues, the next you could be helping care for someone with dementia— so the work is varied.

- Administering medication
- Making meals

- Escorting clients to an activity or a medical appointment
