Summary
🌸 Community Care Worker – Folkestone, Kent 🌸
Looking for a job where you can genuinely make a difference to someone's day?
Care in Kent is looking for kind, reliable and caring people to join our Folkestone Community Care Team. 💗
As a Community Care Worker, you'll support people to live safely, comfortably and independently in their own homes. Every client is different, so every day brings something different too!
Your visits could include:
🚿 Personal care – washing, showering, dressing, continence care and supporting people with their daily routines
💊 Medication support – prompting, assisting or administering medication in line with training and the client's care plan
🍳 Meals & nutrition – preparing meals, drinks and encouraging good nutrition and hydration
🛒 Shopping & errands
🧹 Light household tasks
🚶 Supporting mobility and independence
💬 Companionship & emotional support – sometimes a good chat and a cuppa really does make someone's day
👀 Monitoring wellbeing – noticing changes or concerns and communicating these to the team
🌳 Community support – helping clients get out and about, attend appointments or enjoy activities that matter to them
⏰ What do the visits look like?
Our care is varied. You could provide anything from a 30-minute care visit through to longer 2, 4, 6 or even 8-hour support visits, depending on the client's individual needs.
Community care involves lone working, so once you've completed your training, shadowing and been assessed as competent, you'll travel between clients and provide care independently.
But lone working doesn't mean you're on your own – our office and on-call teams are there to support you.
