Job Description

💙 New to Care? We’ll Support You Every Step of the Way! 💙

Have you ever thought about working in Care but weren’t sure where to start?
At ND Care and Support, we believe that kindness, compassion, and a willingness to learn are far more important than experience.

We’re looking for caring, reliable people to join our amazing team in Llanelli – a team that’s more like a family. Whether you’ve worked in retail, hospitality, or raised a family of your own, your life experience could make you a fantastic Care Assistant.

No experience? No problem!
We provide a comprehensive 5-day Induction Training to give you all the skills and confidence you need to get started. You’ll also be paired with a friendly, experienced team member through our Buddy Scheme, so you’ll never feel like you’re doing it alone.

What you’ll do:

• Daily Hygiene Assistance: Help with washing, oral care, bathing, and dressing.
• Mobility Support: Assistance with getting up and going to bed.
• Meal Preparation: Encouragement and support during mealtimes.
• Medication Administration: Ensuring health and safety with precise care.
• Household Assistance: Creating a nurturing and supportive living environment.
• Toileting Support: Help with toilet visits and changing incontinence aids.
• Specialised Equipment Use: Safe and respectful movement of clients.
• Accurate Record-Keeping: Maintaining continuity of care.
• Emotional Support and Companionship: Providing comfort and companionship.
  
  

What we’re looking for:

• Empathy: The power to understand and share the feelings of others
• Communication: Effectively sharing and receiving information
• Patience: Staying calm and composed, even when things get a little hectic.
• Dependability: Being someone others can count on – trust is so important.
• Flexibility: Being open to adjusting to the changing needs of clients.
• Compassion: Showing genuine care and concern for those around you.
• Respect: Valuing the dignity and preferences of each individual.
  
  

What we offer:

• We offer a competitive salary of £14.12 per hour on weekdays and £14.68 on weekends, paid weekly (this includes rolled-up holiday pay).
• We’ll cover the cost of your Enhanced DBS check, and Social Care Wales registration fee, and even provide a Blue Light Card—saving you over £70!
• Paid travel and waiting time up to 30 minutes.
• Paid mileage on support sessions (40p per mile).
• Full-time hours and set shifts, or flexible shift patterns.
• Refer a friend to join our team, and you’ll both receive a £150 bonus—what a win-win! (paid once you have both worked 12 weeks).
• A 5-day in-depth Induction and training programme (paid at national minimum wage once you have worked for us for a minimum of 100 hours).
• The opportunity to buddy with an experienced carer when you start meeting our clients.

If you’ve ever been told you’re a “people person” or the one everyone turns to for support – this could be the perfect role for you.

Apply today and take your first step into a career that truly matters. We can’t wait to welcome you to the ND Care and Support family!
