What to expect from carer jobs in Kent
The average day of a carer will likely consist of providing a variety of tasks such as light housework, preparing food, helping with personal care such as dressing and going to the toilet, medical care, running errands and helping with mobility. It’s a very varied and rewarding job but also demanding and requires somebody passionate about looking after others.
Somebody may need a carer for a variety of reasons, such as companionship, mobility issues, disabilities, learning difficulties, degenerative conditions, brain damage or older age making it more difficult to be independent. A carer can provide as much or as little care as is needed and is there to provide some extra support and help.
Live In Carer Jobs in Kent
Live in care is when the carer lives at the property with the person they are caring for, this means they can provide care around the clock and be there as ongoing support and companionship. Live in carers have their own room and this means they can save money on rent and travel as well as provide flexibility with their hours.
People may choose a live in carer because they need constant or ongoing support that can’t be met by visiting care. This means they can have the peace of mind of dealing with one carer who is fully briefed and understanding of their needs and with whom they can build a professional relationship.
Hours of work will usually be listed within the job advertisement or discussed at the interview stage as well as an agreement on free days, job requirements and any benefits of the role.
