Key Responsibilities

https://vimeo.com/688911604 Meet Abby who started working in our team as a Domiciliary Care Assistant. Abby did not have any formal prior experience or qualifications before she joined.

Our training, development and mentorship team are there to help guide you with all the learning necessary and help you settle into the role. What is important to us is that our team share in our passion to provide care that we would be happy to accept for ourselves or a loved one.

Abby initially joined us supporting people living in their own homes; helping clients like Beryl to get washed and dressed in a morning and provide companionship. Beryl lives with her son, Peter, who is Beryl’s main carer and the input of our care team means Peter gets regular respite and can go for a walk or to watch his local rugby team. Abby then progressed to the office team and is now working directly with our Managing Director as a Personal Assistant. Beryl’s family have said, “Abby in the office does an amazing job, I love chatting with her and the way she makes me feel anything is possible. If she rings me with a problem the team usually have a solution up their sleeve or give me the encouragement to find one.
