The care assistant role
Care assistant work is practical and personal. A shift is built around helping people wash, dress, eat, take medication and get out of the house, and around noticing the small changes that mean somebody is not themselves today.
Employers here are care homes, home care providers and supported living services. Most take people with no care background at all and train them, because attitude is harder to teach than task.
