Our service is companionship led and so a considerable responsibility of a care professional is to stimulate and encourage the client through a range of different activities that sustain or improve their quality of life. A care professional’s responsibilities can also include accompanying clients to appointments and social events, light housekeeping, planning and preparing meals and helping with daily living routines including assisting with personal care.

We are looking for friendly, kind, compassionate people who like to spend time with people and build a friendly but professional relationship.
