Every day as a Senior Care Assistant is different, but your impact is always the same - life-changing. 

You will:

• Support prompt, safe hospital discharges back home (within 24 hours of referral)
• Empower clients to regain independence, confidence and skills through positive, safe risk-taking
• Build trusting relationships and provide emotional encouragement every day
• Adapt home environments to reduce risks and suit individual needs
• Help clients achieve goals set by social workers with minimal ongoing support
• Establish motivating daily routines that promote great self-care
• Assess capabilities (physical & cognitive) over 14 days, gather evidence, and plan the right-sized care package
• Refer clients to supportive tech (e.g. reminder clocks, medication dispensers, door sensors, GPS watches)
• Work closely with families to create person-centred care plans that everyone loves
• Attend multi-agency meetings, provide progress updates, and collaborate to increase independence
• Write tailored care plans, complete risk assessments, and deliver thorough handovers to long-term teams
• Connect clients with community groups and services to boost social skills and integration
• Take charge of your own professional development – source relevant training and keep skills refreshed

• Clear understanding of the care sector, including promoting independence and managing logistics in home settings
• Great team player – building positive relationships with clients, keyworkers, families, and colleagues
• Flexible, reliable, and punctual – able to adapt to changing needs and keep things on track
