Full job description
Home Care Support Worker

We are currently looking for people to join our team of Home Care Support Workers to help care for people in their own homes. You must be a driver, with access to your own vehicle to apply for the role.
Established in 1984, CHD Living is an award-winning family-owned group of care services in Surrey and South London, where we offer person-centred care from a friendly team. We created our domiciliary care services to offer some peace of mind to the people living at home and their families. From visits once or twice a day to 24/7 at-home support, our home care team is dedicated to providing tailored services to those who need it most.
Within your role you will be responsible for the wellbeing; including the physical, emotional and social needs of the service users in a caring, kind, trustworthy and respectful manner, whilst preserving dignity, independence and self-respect at all times.
Those in your care will have diverse requirements, be that cognitive impairments, learning disabilities or physical disabilities with individual care plans, something that will ensure no day and indeed no visit will be the same.
Working so closely with our clients and supporting their independence you will need to have strong communication skills and excel in collaborative environments with patience, kindness and empathy.
The care needs can include helping patients in and out of bed, washing and dressing, visiting the toilet, helping with eating or administrating medication. The care provided can be long term or for those needing short term support after coming out of hospital or period of illness, needing support to manage their day to day tasks again.
Hours can be flexible depending on your availability and we work with you, to work out what’s the best fit for your given lifestyle. As you will be changing locations and, on the road, primarily working independently, you will need to be self-motivated, working on your own initiative whilst collaborating with the wider team and management.

- A full, clean driving license and access to your own vehicle
- Excellent level of written and spoken English
- Right to work in the UK
