Our Carers are supervised by a Client Services Manager and are responsible to a Client Services Group Manager. Carers generally work alone but are in regular contact with the office. Good communication with the Client Services team is essential. Carers liaise closely with Client Services Managers who schedule their client services and monitor work. Carers report any changes they notice in the client or client’s environment to the Client Services Managers.

Daily routines can vary considerably. Carers receive detailed instructions from their Client Services Managers so they know when to visit their clients and what assistance to provide. Usually, Carers have several clients. They may visit several clients in one day with each service lasting 30 mins or an hour through to several hours or more. Sometimes a carer may have an all-day service with a client. Workers may have clients for months or years or for just a very short period.

Carers’ working environments can differ markedly. Some clients’ homes are tidy and comfortable while others are cluttered and messy. Some clients are easy to work with while others may have problems that make it difficult for them to cope and they can become angry, irritable or depressed.

Working hours vary according to the requirement of our clients. Carers are employed on a casual basis, some only on weekdays, some just work on weekends or a combination of both. There are Carers who prefer only overnight care work.

Seniors Community Care provides services when clients need them so help is offered to clients 7 days a week, 24 hours a day, 365 days per year. Clients generally require personal care in the mornings and in the evenings, while home care services are provided Monday to Friday during the day.

Carers working hours and the availability of work depends on client demand and how available and flexible workers can be.

Our Carers must enjoy working with people and preferably have previous caring experience, which may be formal or informal and have a willingness to undertake ongoing learning to upgrade their skills.

It is also an opportunity to talk through any issues of concern Carers might have.

Carers keep time sheets for every working week which they send to the relevant office at the end of the week.
