Care Worker

Here at the Real Care Agency we approach recruitment slightly differently. We are a family run friendly company, looking for energetic, enthusiastic, caring people who would like to make a positive difference to someone’s life. As a Care Worker, you will be expected to work in the community to assist service user(s) with washing/bathing, dressing/undressing, support getting in and out of bed, help with meal preparation, social support, shopping, befriending, respite and housework as required. These domestic and personal care tasks will be undertaken in the client(s) home(s). Work will primarily be in Lanarkshire and the surrounding area. Due to the nature of the shifts this position would ideally suit someone who is local to Lanarkshire and the surrounding areas.
