Our carer values
We're also looking for someone who'll demonstrate and uphold our carer values.
-
Kindness
To be a carer you have to care deeply about the welfare of others.

You have to be able to connect with your clients, understand what they're feeling and want to help them improve their quality of life.

-
Honesty
In order to cultivate a strong and authentic relationship with your client, they have to trust you. They have to believe that you'll be honest with them and they can be honest with you.
-
Passion
For most carers, caring is not just a job, it is a vocation. Our carers are dedicated to providing first rate care for their clients.

They are passionate about meeting their clients needs and are driven to build upon and expand their skills and knowledge.

-
Dependability
The best carers understand how important it is to be reliable.

Our carers appreciate how much their client relies on them and know that by being late, they are not only impacting their routine, but undermining the trust their client holds for them.

-
Respect
Good carers know how to listen to their clients. They'll take on board their needs and wants and strive to meet them. They'll respect their clients' boundaries, consult them on their care, and support their independence. They won't assume they know what's best - they'll ask and encourage their clients to participate in decision making.
