We are looking for a dedicated and compassionate Home Care Assistant to support our clients in their own homes. As a Home Care Assistant, you will be responsible for providing daily care, assistance, and companionship to individuals who require help due to age, illness, or disability. Your role is essential in helping clients maintain a dignified and independent life in their familiar surroundings.
Your duties will include assisting with personal hygiene, eating, mobility, and household tasks. You will offer emotional support, encourage social interaction, and monitor the health status of the individuals in your care to ensure timely medical intervention when necessary. You will work closely with family members, doctors, and professional caregivers.
We value empathy, reliability, and a strong sense of responsibility. You should enjoy working with people and be able to adapt to different personalities and life situations. A background in care is beneficial but not mandatory – career changers with heart and commitment are welcome.
This role requires a high level of independence, organizational skills, and flexibility. You should be willing to work on weekends or holidays if needed. In return, we offer a meaningful job, a supportive work environment, and opportunities for professional and personal development.
