Healthcare Assistants

Care assistants are essential in supporting service users to live as independently and with as much dignity as possible by fostering relationships of trust and helping them with daily duties. Service users requires round-the-clock care, hence care assistants must be prepared to provide 24-hour care to them.

The variety of clients, personalities and different care needs will always keep you on your toes and the job interesting. A huge part of being a care assistant is being able to offer emotional support to your clients, which requires you to have a sociable, friendly and attentive attitude towards them, and an ability to offer engaging conversations.
