Passion for Support are recruiting Female Personal Care Assistants to visit customers in their own home. Work is available immediately for NVQ 2 qualified carers (or we can fund training for those without care qualifications).
Your visits will take place throughout Calderdale supporting older adults to lead an independent life in their own homes and communities. You’ll have a varied rota which can include care, companionship, personal care, meal preparation, cleaning and tidying, supervising medications, support to attend appointments, shopping or social outings. Our visits normally last a minimum of one hour so you’ll have sufficient time to make a real, positive impact on the lives of the people you’re supporting.
For this rewarding role you’ll need to be patient, caring and reliable and have a desire to help others. You must live in the Calderdale area, drive and have your own car. You’ll also be required to agree to having an enhanced DBS check and provide two references.
