Reports to:              Day Centre Manager

Place of Work:         St. Austell Day Centre

Salary:                      £7.83 per hour

Hours of Work:        Tuesdays – 6 hours’ minimum

We are the leading independent charity in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly working to improve the wellbeing of people in later life and striving to support them to live the life they want to live.

About the role:

Working in the St Austell Day Services you will ensure that our client’s wellbeing is paramount at all times.  You will:

  • Provide care as needed during the day, including personal care
  • Complete and review client assessments (in the centre and in client homes)
  • Complete and review care plans and risk assessments
  • Escort clients to and from the centre
  • Engage with our clients in the planning and development of holistic and stimulating day activities
  • Ensure a warm and friendly environment

About you:

You will enjoy meeting new people, be confident and outgoing and like helping others. You will be motivated by making a real difference to the quality of people’s lives.
