About the role

Carers at Home Surrey

What makes a good carer?

It’s often the little things in life that some of our clients miss and need the most.

As a care worker your main role will be to help and support our clients to enable them to live safely and comfortably in their own home, allowing them to maintain their dignity and independence.

Companionship and human interaction will be your most important tasks as (in some instances) you may be the only contact they have on a day to day basis.

Simply chatting or reading to a client will help to brighten their day and help them feel connected to the outside world. If you already have a caring personality, this will come naturally to you.

Day to day care

Day to day responsibilties

Every client is an individual and will have unique needs. Your role as a carer will therefore vary throughout the day.

Some clients will require more assistance than others (such as washing and toileting). For other clients, simply popping in and having a chat over a nice cup of tea might be all they need.

As a care worker, our clients will be looking to you for friendship and also for you to act as their advocate/supporter.

Typical day to day duties might include:-

· light housework
· laundry
· meal preparation
· diet monitoring
· administering prescribed medication
· helping going to bed/getting up
· washing, bathing and showering
· shopping and errands

Carers at Home have been independently rated “Outstanding in care” by the Care Quality Commission. This is the highest rating an agency can achieve and we are very proud of it.

Here are some of the lovely things some of our current and former care workers have said about working for us (names have been redacted for privacy).

Care Worker: email – I would like to take this opportunity to thank you and Carers At Home for giving me the chance to work for such a great organisation. I have thoroughly enjoyed my time and gained a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge whist working within a great team.

Prospective care worker: When Lilly was interviewing she asked the candidate if how she had heard about CAH. She stated that whilst visiting in Elmbridge Village she saw one of our care workers and asked what it was like to work for CAH. The care worker said “it is an excellent company to work for, they are very supportive and I am very happy”.

Care Worker (resigning): C wrote a letter of resignation to start her planned nursing practice. She wrote: I would like to offer my sincere thanks for the training you have given and making my time within the company a productive and enjoyable one. I have learnt a great deal with regards to caring, communication and working with others. I would also like to thank you for giving me the opportunity to carry out my nursing placement with you in the office. I greatly appreciate everything you showed and taught me and taking the time to do this. Thank you.

Care Worker: (on leaving) wrote saying: Lilly and Richard and staff – “I would just like to thank you for the opportunity for working with you and your staff. When I first started I like to thank the ones who took me under their wings and showed me how to become a good care worker. I have never worked with such a dedicated and hard working group of people. Working as a team has been the drive to get over the difficult times and really enjoy the happy times. I will miss you all. Best wishes J xx

Care Worker: ER-D said to Ellen ”I have received a really nice compliment and it makes me feel really good about myself”. The client said to ER-D “you have a very gentle way, I hope you come back again very soon.”

Care Worker: gave her notice in writing, she said ‘I would like to take the opportunity of thanking you for the time I spent working for Carers at Home and wish you all the best for the future. Everything I know about care I have learned from you and I really enjoyed working her.’ She also came into the office to say thank you for supporting her and being understanding about a personal issue she had.
