  • Documenting care given, recording any changes and reporting these to the person in charge of the shift
  • Providing support and advice to residents’ families and friends, keeping them informed at an appropriate level with due regard to the adherence of confidentiality
  • Working with the Activities Team to develop group and 1:1 activities that will be engaging and of interest to the residents
  • Liaising with other agencies as required in the interests of the resident for example; GP, Social Services, Occupational Therapist, etc.
