  • Prompting and administering medication and recording it accurately on our care app
  • Preparing meals and drinks and helping with light household tasks
  • Supporting clients to stay mobile, using hoists and other equipment safely where needed
  • Writing clear visit notes on our electronic care planning system and reporting any concerns or changes
  • Chatting with clients and their families and helping them stay involved in their community
  • Following care plans, risk assessments, and safeguarding procedures
  • Attending team meetings, supervisions, and training sessions at our Filwood office
