Desired:

The main skills and qualities that we look for in our Home Care Assistants are:

• Previous experience in the care profession and qualifications are desirable attributes but we can provide training and opportunities to undertake qualifications to staff with no previous care experience.
• Some experienced carers will participate in the on-call rota and undertake shadowing training with new carers. These additional responsibilities are optional and are remunerated at an enhanced rate of pay.

Main Responsibilities:

• To share with other staff in meeting the personal care needs of our clients in a way that respects their dignity and promotes independence. The nature of care we expect you to provide is similar to that which would reasonably be given by members of the client’s own family and will not involve tasks that a trained nurse would normally provide.
• To assist our clients who need help with getting in and out of bed, dressing, undressing, washing, bathing and using the toilet.
• To help clients with mobility problems and other physical disabilities including incontinence to use and look after aids and personal equipment.
• To care for clients who are temporarily sick and may need assistance with minor dressings, bed nursing, help with feeding, toileting etc.
• To help care for clients who are dying.
• To help promote mental and physical well-being of our clients through talking to them, taking them out, sharing with them in activities such as reading, writing, hobbies and recreations.
• To undertake light household tasks, for example making and changing beds, tidying rooms, light cleaning such as dusting and vacuuming and emptying commodes.
• To assist with washing clothes and ironing if requested.
• To prepare and serve meals; assist clients with eating and drinking; wash up, tidy and clean the kitchen and dining area.
• To greet visitors and answer the telephone as needed whilst at the clients home.
• To read and write reports, and take part in staff and clients meetings and training activities as directed.
• To maintain the highest standards of hygiene at all times and use personal protective equipment provided.
• Report any illness to the office so that correct infection prevention and control procedures can be followed.
• To comply with the agency's guidelines and policies at all times.
• To report to the office any significant changes in the health or circumstances of a client.
• To encourage clients to remain as independent as possible.
• To report to the office immediately any events or situations that may pose a risk to our clients, their relatives or staff members. For example a faulty piece of equipment or broken step in a client's home.
• To help promote the agency with marketing which may include leafleting and to help protect the reputation of the agency.
• To come into the office at least once a week to collect and bring in client paperwork and to collect your rota and client information.
• To perform such other duties as may reasonably be required.

Caroline Morgan - Care Manager

Caroline has worked in the care sector for over 22 years. Beginning her career as a waitress in a care home in Jersey, Caroline then became a carer. After a short career break to have her first child, Caroline moved to England and started a new role as a carer in a dementia residential home. There, Caroline quickly progressed her career as a carer to a senior care role, then to Deputy Manager.

Caroline explains, “My first experience with Radfield Home Care was back in 2016 when my husband’s Grandmother was being cared for at her home in Worcester. The feeling from the whole family was that the support, care and professionalism shown by the carers was second to none. When the opportunity arose for me to join the Radfield Home Care family I knew that I was joining an organisation whose core values meet my own personal values.”

As care manager, Caroline works closely with the care team to provide outstanding care at home to Radfield Home Care clients, ensuring that the highest standards are met, continuing to go above and beyond to make a positive difference to their lives.
