Community Support Worker

Important Information:

• Community Support Worker – Guaranteed Shifts
• Southport and surrounding areas
• Care from the heart. Make a difference every day.
• Looking for a care role where you have time to get to know the people you support?

At Belong at Home, we believe great care is built on genuine relationships. Our Home Care Assistants help people continue living independently and enjoying life in the comfort of their own homes. You might be helping someone get ready for the day, preparing a meal, providing personal care or simply spending time with someone who values a friendly face and a good conversation.

Whatever the visit involves, you will have the opportunity to make a real difference.

What will you be doing?

No two people are the same, which means no two days are the same.

You may be supporting clients with:

• Personal care and daily routines
• Preparing meals and drinks
• Medication support
• Light household tasks
• Companionship and emotional support
• Attending appointments or getting out into the community
• Continuing hobbies and interests
• Remaining active, confident and independent

Some of our clients enjoy gardening, music or reading. Others may appreciate help around the home or someone to sit with them and have a chat.

Your role is to support each person in the way that is right for them.
