Work
Most of your apprenticeship is spent working. You’ll learn on the job by getting hands-on experience.
What you'll do at work
Prestige Nursing and Care Redhill is keen to speak with kind and compassionate people. You don't necessarily need to have a professional carer background - if you have looked after anyone, you probably already have many of the skills for care and we can provide training to fill any gaps.
What you will gain:
- An opportunity to turn your compassion into a profession
- Flexibility to work around other areas of your life and existing responsibilities
- Support and training to build on your existing caring skills and experience
- A range of benefits to complement your hard work and needs
Key Responsibilities:
- Supporting with personal care and daily routines
- Assisting with medication
- Preparing meals and supporting with nutrition
- Helping with shopping and household tasks
- Providing companionship and emotional support
- Supporting clients to access the community and maintain independence
Who you will be:
- Someone who can be flexible in their approach as the clients you will look after have a range of individual needs, so no two days are the same
- A compassionate, friendly and empathic person who will revel in the idea of supporting others to fulfil their lives
- A driver with a full licence and transport able to travel between clients
- Someone who has either already got an advanced DBS Certificate/PVG or understands they will need to undertake these before they start
- Someone who will commit fully to the apprenticeship and the role from the start
