Description

Kemble at Home is a multiple award-winning family company, established in 1993, and rated 'Outstanding for Caring' by CQC.

We are looking for Care Assistants to help support our private clients in the community in and around Hereford.

About the role......

As a Care Assistant with the Visiting Care Team, you will be visiting our clients in their homes - this is likely to be with different clients for an hour or so at a time, or one client for most of the day.

Some people will need help doing the shopping or keeping the house in order, others need support with medication or a medical condition, and many people may simply want some company during lonely days.

No care experience is required (although it does help) - we will offer you the training you need to feel confident in your role.

We ask that our carers are available for at least 16 hours per week and that they are able to offer alternate weekend availability.

Carers are able to pick up extra visits at their convenience through their online carer portal.

We believe in fairly rewarding our carers for the important work they do and we are proud to offer some of the best rates of pay and support around:

Pay from £11.36 up to £17.72 per hour
40p mileage allowance
28 days holiday pro rata
Fully paid face to face training and ongoing training and support, with the opportunity to specialise in Dementia and End of Life Care
Flexible working
Pension scheme
A minimum of 1hour placements

How will you be introduced to Kemble at Home and our clients?
Before you begin lone working in the community, we will make sure you are thoroughly trained.

You will receive 4 days of fully paid and certificated training, during which you will fully equipped with the skills and knowledge you need to safely carry out your role.

As well as this, we will aim to shadow you into all of your regular clients with the client's PA or a regular carer.

Within your shadow visits you will be able to introduce yourself and have the opportunity to observe the client's routine and familiarise yourself with their home.

We are proud of our carers and the work they do, a number of our carers have been with us for over 20 years.

We are here to support you. We work with small teams that serve their own area in Herefordshire. Each team has its own Team Manager, all of whom have been carers so know what the job entails.

They are there to help manage client files, match carers with clients, develop schedules, and are available around the clock to support the carers.
