What to expect from a carer job in London
As a carer, you will usually be caring for someone with additional needs that needs support around the home and in their daily life – this could be due to disabilities, mobility issues, learning difficulties, degenerative conditions, brain damage or simply old age making it difficult to be as active as before.
A carer is there to provide as much or as little help as needed, whether it’s providing companionship, helping with housework, attending appointments, and running errands or more in depth such as providing medical care, dressing changes, personal care and help with mobility.
It requires someone who is passionate about helping people and making their lives easier, displaying respect and helping them to feel safe and supported.
