• Following care plans and writing comprehensive care notes.
• Providing a high quality, personalised care and support service including the sensitive delivery of personal care and managing medication.
• Helping customers to get up, washed and dressed.
• Supporting customers to go into the local community e.g. visits to local shops and cafes, visiting friends and attending GP appointments.
• Promoting a positive culture by engaging with customers to prevent social isolation.
• Working with customers and other staff members to ensure a clean and comfortable environment.
• Promoting safe practices and undertaking risk assessments.
