Job Description

A domiciliary care worker is a paid care professional who visits people in their own homes, helping them to continue living independently. Everyone is different and so the level and amount of care can vary, depending on the clients’ needs. The client might be someone who needs a paid carer one hour a week or for several hours a day — the amount of time needed varies.

Some domiciliary workers work nights for those who need round-the-clock care.

  • Personal care

  • Assisting with household tasks

  • Accompanying the client on visits to the doctor or hospital

 

One day you could be assisting someone with mobility issues, the next you could be helping care for someone with dementia — so the work is varied.

  • Administering medication

  • Helping with personal care such as washing, dressing, hair, nail, mouth and skin care, and eating and drinking

  • Escorting clients to an activity or a medical appointment
