Home Care Jobs
Support people to live safely, independently and confidently in their own homes. Make a difference where it matters most.
What is a Care Assistant?
A Care Assistant provides practical, personal and emotional support to people in their own homes, helping them maintain their independence, dignity and quality of life.
At Prime Years Care Agency, our Care Assistants provide visiting care, travelling to clients in their own homes and supporting them according to their individual care and support plans.
Visiting Care & Domiciliary Care Opportunities
Join Prime Years Care Agency as a Home Care Worker, providing visiting care and domiciliary support to people in their own homes. You will help people maintain their routines, independence and quality of life while providing care that is centred around them.
What is Home Care?
Home care, sometimes called domiciliary or visiting care, means providing care and support to people in their own homes rather than in a residential care setting.
As a Home Care Worker, you will travel to clients' homes and provide support according to their individual needs and care plan. Visits can vary from person to person, making every working day different.
The role is about supporting people to remain as independent as possible — helping with the things they need while respecting their choices, routines, privacy and dignity.
What does a Home Care Assistant Do?
Providing attentive, person-centred support tailored to each client's agreed care plan.
Personal care
Support with personal routines such as washing, dressing, toileting and personal hygiene where this forms part of the agreed care plan.
Medication support
Where trained and authorised, support people with medication safely and strictly in line with their care plan.
Daily routines
Help with everyday activities that enable someone to remain comfortable, supported, and independent at home.
Meal preparation
Prepare meals and drinks according to the person's preferences, dietary requirements and care plan.
Mobility and independence
Provide appropriate support with mobility and everyday activities, encouraging people to do as much as they can for themselves.
Companionship and social support
Build positive professional relationships and support people to remain connected with the people, places and activities that matter to them.
Community support
Where included in the support plan, accompany people to appointments, activities, shopping or other community activities.
What could a typical day look like?
A typical day may involve visiting several clients across your local area. One visit could involve helping someone start their morning, while another might involve preparing lunch, supporting personal care or helping someone get out into their community.
Every client has different needs, routines and preferences. Your role is to understand the person behind the care plan and provide support in a way that works for them.
Who will you support?
Prime Years Care Agency supports adults who may need care and support associated with:
- ♿ Physical disabilities
- 👁️ Sensory impairment
- 🧠 Dementia
- 🏥 After hospital discharge
- 👵 Care of the elderly
The exact support you provide will depend on the individual's needs, care plan, your role and the training you have completed.
Is Home Care right for you?
Home care can be rewarding for people who enjoy building one-to-one relationships and making a visible difference to someone's everyday life.
