Summary

Are you a compassionate and caring person looking to provide care that makes a real, positive difference to the lives of the people you support?

Safi Homecare is growing our community care team in Market Harborough and the surrounding villages, and we are looking for experienced Care Assistants who take pride in providing good-quality care.

WHY OUR CARERS STAY WITH US

For us, continuity matters. We aim to give our Care Assistants consistent rounds with regular service users, helping you build trust and meaningful professional relationships with the people you visit. That gives you the chance to really understand each person's routines, preferences and what matters to them, rather than arriving somewhere new every day. Calls are grouped into local rounds within Market Harborough and the nearby villages so you are not driving across the county between visits, and travel time between calls is paid.

We are a nurse-led service. Our Registered Manager is an Advanced Nurse Practitioner that can also provide a genuine nursing related support an clinical oversight.

WHERE YOU WILL BE WORKING

Market Harborough town, Great Bowden, Little Bowden, Lubenham, Foxton, the Langtons, Kibworth and the surrounding Harborough villages.

WHO YOU WILL BE SUPPORTING

Our service users include older people living with dementia, people coming home after a hospital admission or a fall, adults living with long-term conditions such as Diabetics, Parkinson's, stroke and COPD and adults with and physical disabilities living in their own homes.

A good part of our work is reablement, supporting people commissioned through Leicestershire County Council to regain their confidence and independence after illness, injury or a hospital stay. It is some of the most rewarding work in community care, because you get to see people get better with your support.

WHAT YOU WILL BE DOING

o Being a friendly, familiar face good conversation, company, and time to talk while you work

o Supporting people to stay independent, doing things with them rather than for them wherever they can

o Helping people keep up the routines and interests that matter to them

o Personal care, washing, dressing and continence support, delivered in a way that protects dignity

o Medication prompting and administration

o Preparing meals and drinks, and keeping an eye on how well someone is eating and drinking

o Supporting mobility and safe moving and handling

o Light domestic tasks and shopping

o Accurate recording on our digital care system, so the whole team knows how someone is doing

For many of our service users you will be the person who notices first when something is not right. That matters more than any single task on this list.

Experience

This role is suited to someone with previous paid experience in care, whether in the community, a care home, supported living or a hospital setting. You should already be confident with personal care and comfortable working alone in someone's home.

We then build on that. You will receive a full paid induction, Care Certificate completion or refresh, and role-specific training including moving and handling, medication, dementia care and reablement practice. With ongoing regular Supervisions, yearly appraisals, we support carers who want to go further, into senior roles, or on to QCF and specialist training.

DRIVERS

A driving licence and access to a vehicle are essential for this round, as it covers Market Harborough and the surrounding villages.

WHAT WE OFFER

[1£13- £13.50, paid travel time, mileage, holiday, pension, refer-a-friend, uniform, DBS]
