Home Carer

A Home Carer provides support to people with additional needs in their own home. You might work with elderly people or people with a disability. Home Carers might provide assistance with daily living tasks such as cooking or cleaning or provide help with personal care duties such as dressing or showering. You may also accompany clients to appointments or community activities.

Home Carers should have strong personal skills and be able to communicate with people with a range of needs. It’s important that you are patient and can understand your clients’ individual needs. Home Carers should be flexible and be willing to take on a range of tasks. Depending on the needs of your clients, you may have to do some physical work or heavy lifting.
