Community Care Worker Join Our Team in Kendal and the South Lakes
We are looking for compassionate, reliable, and motivated Community Care Workers to join our friendly team, supporting people across Kendal and the beautiful surrounding South Lakes villages.
As a Community Care Worker with St Anns Healthcare Ltd, you will provide high-quality care and support to people living in their own homes, helping them maintain their independence, dignity, and quality of life.
For this role, you must:
- Have excellent spoken and written English.
- Hold a full driving licence and have access to a vehicle.
- Be available to work within our care hours of 7:00 am to 10:30 pm.
We understand that everyone has different commitments, so we offer flexible shift patterns. Whether you prefer mornings, evenings, or longer shifts with more days off, we'd be happy to discuss a schedule that works for you.
About the Role
No two days are the same. You'll provide practical support, companionship, and reassurance to clients in their own homes, making a genuine difference to their daily lives.
For many of our clients, you may be their main point of contact with the outside world. You'll build meaningful relationships while always maintaining professional boundaries and delivering person-centred care.
Your duties may include:
- Assisting with personal care, including washing, dressing, and grooming.
- Preparing and serving meals and drinks to meet individual dietary needs.
- Prompting and supporting clients to take their medication safely and on time.
- Helping with light household tasks such as emptying bins, sweeping, mopping floors, and preparing shopping lists.
- Supporting clients with mobility and daily routines.
- Providing companionship and emotional support.
- Safeguarding clients by recognising and reporting concerns.
- Responding appropriately in emergencies and administering basic first aid where required.
- Maintaining accurate care records and reporting any changes in a client's wellbeing.
- Working closely with colleagues and healthcare professionals to ensure the highest standard of care.
About You
We're looking for someone who is:
- Caring, compassionate, and dependable.
- A good communicator with excellent interpersonal skills.
- Honest, trustworthy, and committed to providing high-quality care.
- Passionate about helping others live independently.
- Comfortable working both independently and as part of a team.
Previous experience in home care, residential care, assisted living, or hospice care is desirable but not essential, as we provide comprehensive training and ongoing support.
