What does a Healthcare Professional do?

Meal Preparation

Healthy, nutritious and tasty meals can play a key role in enjoying a better quality of life. Your customers might ask you to cook a full meal for them or just prepare a light bite.

Clinical Care

Customers with more complex health conditions may require clinical care, where you may work alongside a qualified nurse to deliver a more specialised type of support.

Pet Care

Some of our customers own pets which they're not fully able to take care of themselves, so there may be times when you're asked to take their furry friends for a walk or top up their water bowl.

Medication

Customers living with medical conditions may need assistance with medication; we'll make sure you're fully trained in helping to adminster it safely and appropriately.

Mobility Support

If a customer is living with a physical disability, a limiting medical condition or age-related frailty, they may need help moving around the house - particularly with getting in and out of bed and visiting the bathroom.

Completeing Errands

Many of our customers aren't able to get out and about as much as they'd like, so they may ask you to pick up some groceries or head to the post office on their behalf.

Personal Care

This can include things like helping a customer to bathe, toilet and dress, and assisting them in matters of personal hygiene.

Household Chores

Household chores can include tasks like vacuuming, doing the laundry, cleaning and other time-consuming activities which our less mobile customers need assistance with.

Companionship

Sometimes, a customer's most pressing need is simply a bit of friendly company. Whether it's enjoying a cup of tea and cake or helping them to finish their jigsaw puzzle, companionship can do the world of good.
