Care Assistant – starting rate £13.25 per hour
The Community Care Assistant role combines personal and domestic care duties to help our clients care for themselves at home and, wherever possible, restore them to complete independence.
Many of our service users are elderly and may have one or more of the following: learning disability, mental health issues, physical disability, sensory impairment, or dementia, including Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s disease etc.
Community Carers need to be able to work in an unsupervised situation and be prepared to give attention to the client’s needs and perform practical tasks.
Working hours are based on a 2-week rota. Full-time employees are required to work alternate weekends and a minimum and some evenings.
Part-time employees are needed for evenings and weekends.
Previous care experience is desirable but not essential, as Oxford Private Care will deliver a comprehensive induction and work shadowing program for all carers who join us.
