Your role is to enable our clients to remain living independently within their own homes and to listen to their needs and support them in a way in which you yourself would want to be supported. As each client is different, each role will be tailored to meet the needs of the client. These may include providing light domestic duties, personal care, companionship, meal preparation, socialising or helping with their hobbies.
The role is on a self-employed basis, therefore, all Personal Assistants (PA's) are accountable for their own actions.
Experience is not essential at Your Care. It is far more important that you are caring, friendly and compassionate with a real interest in helping others and that you share our beliefs and values. All our PA's have to successfully complete our in-house induction training and have ongoing training in order to remain up to date with industry standards.
We're looking for caring, personable assistants who excel in listening and engaging with clients, bringing warmth, friendship and support to each interaction. Our process starts with a friendly phone conversation, where we can learn more about you and what drives your passion for this role. Following this, we invite you to an interview, where we'll discuss your values and interests to ensure they align with ours. We take great care in matching our assistants with clients who share similar hobbies and interests, as well as specific support needs. Our goal is for you to find real fulfilment in your role by connecting you with clients who truly complement your skills and personality.
Once we have decided you are right to join our team we will then start the recruitment process. This involves two reference checks, one of which must be your last employer. You will be required to undergo an enhanced criminal records check. We also check your driving license, right to work in the UK and verify your address. Once all the checks have been completed you will be required to undertake our mandatory induction training before meeting our clients.
