Carer

The role of the Carer is to undertake those duties required of them as delegated by the Manager or Supervisor.

The Carer will remember that they are dealing with long stay care residents in the Home and that the accent should be on providing a friendly, sociable environment to provide for the physical and emotional needs of the residents, which includes all aspects of care, treatment and rehabilitation and ensure that residents receive the highest standard of care and the best quality of life that is possible to provide.

The delivery of care will be determined by the individualised care plans and the Carer will report regularly to the Supervisor, passing on any changes that are observed or problems that are identified.

The Carer will expect to undertake training at the caring level in the Home guided by the Supervisor. Other training may take place outside the Home and the Manager may direct individuals toward this training.

To describe all the duties of a Carer would be very difficult and therefore listed below are some of the key issues. Other duties may be expected at the discretion of the Supervisor or the Manager.
