Location: Sefton

As a Care Worker, you will be a valued member of our domiciliary care team, providing person-centred support in clients’ own homes. You will bring a caring, friendly and compassionate approach to every visit. Comprehensive training and ongoing support will help you reach your full potential.

Work flexibly on a rota, including some weekends.
Work primarily on single care calls, while being willing to undertake occasional double care calls where the needs of the client or service require two care workers.

However, there will be occasions where a double-care call is required, for example where a client's care needs involve two care workers for safe moving and handling or other aspects of care. You will therefore be expected to work as part of a two-person care team when required.
