What are my responsibilities
and duties?
Each care worker job will have different responsibilities but generally, duties include personal care, domestic support and emotional support and companionship.
Personal care
Personal care is one of the main responsibilities of any care worker. This includes helping someone with personal tasks like washing, getting dressed, eating and going to the toilet.
Domestic Support
Domestic support is also important. Care workers help out with daily tasks to ensure a clean and healthy living environment. It’s crucial as many clients may not be able to carry out these tasks alone, so your help really makes their lives easier. This includes meal preparation, cleaning, laundry and other housework.
Emotional support and companionship
Emotional support and companionship is a necessary part of normal life. Everyone needs someone to talk to, and this is where a care worker steps in. Having good people skills is crucial as talking makes up a big part of a care workers’ day. Offering emotional support, kindness and compassion make a massive difference to our customers’ lives.
