Care Assistant

Hi! You’re probably reading this job advert because a friend or connection of yours thinks you would make a great addition to our care team and has shared it with you.

They think you could have what it takes to be a wonderful Care Assistant in our team at  Alcester Home Care. Our main priority is to find people with the right values, behaviours and attitudes that match our own. It’s a great start that one of our team thought you could fit the bill!

You don’t need to have previous experience in this field, nor do you need qualifications – above all we want someone who shares our values:

Respectful - A great carer will be able to connect with a client as a person, not just as a client who needs care.

Empathetic - A carer needs to be able to connect with their client in order to help them through it, and a great carer will understand the emotions an elderly person may struggle with as they face new realities.

Cheerful - Any good carer is the sort of person who lights up a room when they walk into it. A carer with a cheerful disposition is more likely to be able to elicit cooperation and soothe their client.

Patient - A great carer needs to be patient enough to handle each situation that arises calmly, without getting flustered or resentful. Patience is critical.

Caring - A great carer with genuinely care, and love what they do.

Observant  -A good carer will pick up on the signs of deterioration early. Decreased appetite, weight loss or gain, increasing confusion, increased irritability – these things can indicate an underlying problem, and a good carer would know never to dismiss them.

Practical- A great carer should be able to handle the sight of bodily fluids and bodily functions with ease, without ever making the person they’re caring for feel ashamed or embarrassed.
