About you:
As an hourly carer with Oxford Aunts, you’ll provide support, companionship, and personal care to clients in Oxfordshire, helping them live independently in their own homes. Your duties will include personal care, household tasks, supporting mobility, and running errands like shopping or collecting prescriptions; therefore, a licence with access to your own vehicle is essential! Local knowledge is a plus as you’ll help clients stay connected with their community.
Why be a care assistant in Wallingford for Oxford Aunts?
Rated as ‘Good’ by our most recent Care Quality Commission (CQC) inspection, you can rest assured that you’ll be provided with the right tools, training and support to deliver the high-quality care that we are renowned for in Oxford. We recently won Employer Award 2022 at the Multicultural Apprenticeship Awards for the diversity and inclusion of all of our employees, as well as being recognised as an age-diverse employer by Rest Less. This just goes to show how much we value our employees and everything they bring to caring for our clients in an empathetic and compassionate manner.
Oxford Aunts are not a care agency, so we only employ our own carers in the local area. This also means that we have a team of in-house trainers to deliver specially-built modules on home care directly to our carers, including moving and handling, first aid and medication – all of which is in line with the CQC’s stringent guidelines.
We are a close-knit team that continually supports each other, which is exactly what we offer to our carers: continued support, guidance and a great place to work where you will genuinely feel valued for everything you do.
If you’d like to join our local team in Wallingford and make a difference to those who need support throughout the week, get in touch with us today.
