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

  • Chatting and engaging with relatives and providing care updates
  • Companionship — communicating and taking an interest in your client’s needs
  • Errands such as shopping
  • Helping with household tasks, including gardening, cleaning, simple household maintenance, washing clothes, doing the weekly shop or making the bed
