Many carers travel around 10 to 15 minutes between local visits. Mileage is reimbursed and travel time between visits is paid.
A Care Assistant is the person who helps a Client manage everyday life at home.
You provide practical help, personal care, company and reassurance, while encouraging them to do as much as they can for themselves. Over time, you become a familiar person who knows their routines, notices when something changes and helps them feel comfortable and supported.
A typical day:
You know which Clients you are seeing and when.
We aim to keep Clients close to you, with many journeys around 10–15 minutes.
This is the main part of the job. You spend time with the Client, helping with what they need that day and supporting them according to their Care & Support Plan.
You update care records and report anything important you notice.
You support one Client at a time, helping with what they need that day according to their Care & Support Plan. It can include:
Someone is always there to help you.” Ishara, Part-time Care Assistant
Personal care is part of the role. Helping someone wash, dress or use the bathroom can make a real difference to their comfort and dignity. You will be fully trained to provide this support safely and respectfully.
You do not need previous care experience to start with us. We train you, give you time to learn alongside experienced Care Assistants and support you until you feel confident.
Once you are ready, you work independently with Clients. If you need advice or have a concern, the office team is there by phone or in person.
Learn how Right at Home works and what good home care looks like.
Personal care, medication, first aid and dementia awareness.
See real Client visits before working independently.
Have someone familiar to ask when you are still finding your feet.
Keep learning with ongoing training and qualifications if you want them.
Full training and shadowing is provided.” Becky, Care CoordinatorRight at Home Stevenage, Bishop's Stortford & Braintree
