As a member of our Senior Care Team, some level of flexibility is required for this role and you may be required on occasion to cover shifts up to 11pm.
You will spend the main portion of your week supporting our clients to live an independent life in their own homes by visiting them during the day and providing help with day-to-day tasks that may include:
Personal care (showering/bathing, dressing, continence care etc.)
Domestic tasks (laundry, hoovering, washing up, general tidying etc.)
Cooking or preparing meals
Shopping
Medication
Companionship
As a Senior Care Assistant, we also offer the opportunity to gain skills in other areas and these tasks may include:
Providing shadowing for new starters
Supervisions
Risk assessments
Supporting the office team
Please note: Due to the nature of the role, you will need transport to be able to get between the clients’ homes, so a car is essential for this role. We provide a daily petrol allowance to support with this.

The care assistants are very good – it’s so enjoyable getting out with them. Recently we went to the Marina where I took photos and had lunch. It was super!Mrs D, HoveThis is an outstanding and very well run organisation. Their choice of staff is excellent.Mrs D, HoveI wouldn’t have made the recovery I did from my broken back without The PCC – and I don’t think I could have done it with any other company. I really mean that.Mrs D, HoveAll of The PCC care assistants always respect my dignity and are unlike those from other companies. I would be very sad if I had to leave them.Mrs D, HoveThe PCC looks after us very well. They have found us great care assistants and we are completely happy with them.Mrs D, HoveThe PCC allows me to be safe and secure at night in my own home as I know they are there.Mrs D, Hove
