Dementia carer/companion (Community)
You’ve skimmed through pages and pages of job adverts already right?
Not sure community care is for you?
Maybe you’ve heard horror stories?
No travel time? Covering a huge geographical area? No breaks?
Let us tell you why Neighbourhood Care is different.
We are a privately owned, independent home care provider based in Burnham\-on\-Sea.
The journey began when Neighbourhood Care was established in 2011, with the vision of providing things “differently”. With the aim of providing a high quality service to its customers but also creating a enjoyable and fun working environment for its employees.
We have a dedicated management team, who all have experience working as Community Care Assistants, that means we know exactly what it’s like to do the job and what we can do to make it better – and we will always get stuck in!
As a Dementia carer/companion you will be supporting people living with dementia with daily tasks from personal care, administering medication to shopping, companionship, accessing the community and everything in between.
You’ll need to be happy driving around Burnham and Highbridge. But don’t worry, as we cover such a small area travel is minimal and you’ll spend the majority of your time working with our lovely customers.
Our evening shift patterns are 07:00\-14:00 and 16:00\-22:00\.
Exact working pattern is chosen by you!
