Job Purpose

To provide support to people living in their own homes in the community to help them

building links and connections in the community so that people can get back to their lives

with minimal longer term support.

Commission (CQC).

You will liaise with other professionals and services as necessary to provide the best

possible care to service users and their carer.

You may provide assistance or reassurance during a period of urgent/unplanned need to

people in their homes who dont need the emergency services which maximises the

individuals independence, health and wellbeing.

The service provides person centred care and support to people over 18 years old such

as assisting with personal care, meals/drink preparation and medication according to a
