Compact Care Job descriptions

Domiciliary Care Worker

A Domiciliary Care Worker is responsible for upkeeping their clients' hygiene, ensuring their safety and facilitating social-emotional support.

Their duties include administering medications, cleaning a client's living area and managing activity or care schedules.

The primary role of a Domiciliary Care Worker is to assist elderly or disabled clients with practical tasks that they cannot manage themselves or may need encouragement to complete independently. These tasks vary from helping with washing, dressing and going to the toilet to more complex financial activities such as bill paying, shopping and escorting the client on days out and to social activities.

Due to the diverse nature of the role, Domiciliary Care Workers perform a wide range of activities depending on the requirements, personalities and interests of their clients.
Their responsibilities are especially varied when providing live-in care.

A Domiciliary Care Worker also provides emotional support to their clients – keeping them company, getting to know them and talking to them on a regular basis. The ability to provide comforting and supportive personal and practical assistance to clients is an essential part of the role of a care assistant.

Domiciliary Care worker skills and qualities

A Domiciliary Care Worker needs to be practical and responsible enough to find efficient solutions for everyday problems faced by their client. They must also have the tact and discretion to perform tasks without causing their client any discomfort – preserving the dignity of any client is an absolute necessity.

They must also have a clear criminal record, as enhanced DBS checks are necessary for any healthcare provider role at Compactcare Solutions.

A Domiciliary care worker requires patience, a sense of humour and the ability to relate to people from all backgrounds and walks of life. They will form close working/personal relationships with clients and must be able to sustain that bond – possibly one of the most important relationships their client has in their daily life.
Domiciliary Care Workers work with people in highly vulnerable positions and so kindness and empathy are important qualities. A caring personality is essential.
