Description

Role
Looking for a job that fits around your studies? Or graduating soon and looking for a role where you can gain valuable experience while doing something genuinely meaningful?

 
We are looking for a female care assistant to join a growing team in Canterbury. 
 
Studying? Part-time hours and fixed shifts can make this a great job to fit around lectures, assignments and other commitments. 
 
Graduating? It's a great opportunity to gain hands-on experience and develop skills that can support a future career in health, social care, psychology, education or other people-focused professions.
 
Want meaningful work? You'll have the opportunity to make a genuine difference to someone's quality of life every day.

Duties and responsibilities
This is a rewarding role where you'll support older people and adults to live well, stay independent and get the most out of everyday life. It's about much more than completing tasks. You'll build relationships, provide practical support and companionship, and help the people we support continue doing the things that matter to them.

Skills and experience
You don't need years of experience, but some relevant experience is essential. This could include experience in: 

  • Care or support work 
  • Working with older people or adults with additional needs 
  • Education, childcare or support roles 
  • Volunteering 
  • Another people-focused role 

Most importantly, we're looking for someone who is reliable, compassionate, patient and genuinely interested in supporting others. 

You'll also need to be a female driver with your own vehicle.
