Tasks can include meal preparation, assisting with medication, personal care, taking to appointments, light housework, socialising, and companionship.
Our clients are in a limited territory of Haywards Heath, Burgess Hill and surrounding villages, and minimum call time is 45 minutes, with most calls being significantly longer that that, so there are generous opportunities to earn.
No experience is necessary as full training will be given, all we ask is a caring nature and a drivers license and use of a car for work. Applicants must be 18 years of age and live in the local area.
We currently have vacancies for Care Assistants from 10 hours to 40 hours a week, so for further information about these tempting opportunities and the hours available, please apply now.
